Sommer died within two hours of her birth. While Sommer won’t get a chance to live out the aspirations her parents had for her life, you can help her make an impact on families everywhere.
With your donation, we can continue fighting for the health of all moms and babies through our initiatives like the March of Dimes Innovation Fund to advance our mission by supporting research and partnerships focused on solving maternal and infant health challenges. This Giving Day, help Erika and Kris Young and March of Dimes honor Sommer with a lasting legacy that can also help all babies survive and thrive.
Janette had to travel over an hour to the nearest hospital via a rideshare service for prenatal care appointments and to give birth—all while overcoming substance use. Living under the poverty line in a maternity care desert, today her and her family still struggle to get what they need.
Today you can make a big impact for families everywhere.
