"Big Miracles and Little Angels" is the family team name that parents Karla & Alexander have used when showing any and all support of prematurity awareness. We experienced premature birth first-hand with the birth of our twin girls - Karla & Yesenia - in 2006. They were born at 27 weeks weighing 2.4lbs & 2.2lbs. respectively. Four weeks later Yesenia passed away due to NEC. After being in the hosp
ital for 2 months, Karlie was finally able to go home. During those 2 difficult months in NICU, we went to the hospital on a daily basis and thought of nothing much but our babies. The 2 months there were very difficult - there was so much to learn, so much to grasp, and so much to endure. Because of this, we know how much of a toll it is to have your child in NICU & not be able to take him/her home with you. On November 2014, our family decided we wanted to reach out to parents of preemie babies who were currently in NICU at our local hospitals in Northwest Arkansas by making & delivering care packages letting them know they were not alone during this difficult time. We could not do this alone but we knew that if we reached out to family & friends during the holiday season, our goal of delivering 10 care packages each month would be met. Thanks to the many generous donations of items and/or money, we were able to meet our 1st goal and exceed it. We are hopeful that we can keep the momentum going & bless families every month by reaching out to different local groups for sponsorship. We could not do this without your help! Thank you & please continue spreading our mission to all your family & friends.
