Melissa’s journey to donating over 7,400 ounces of breastmilk began with an unexpected pregnancy complication. Diagnosed with preeclampsia, a serious condition marked by high blood pressure and potential organ damage, she was induced early at 37 weeks.

Eight-month-old Sophia was born on August 13, 2024, at 24 weeks weighing only 1.8 pounds. As a “micropreemie”, she was extremely fragile and immediately required specialized care in the NICU.

Sophia needed support for vital functions such as breathing, feeding and temperature regulation and faced significant challenges along the way. Like many premature and medically vulnerable infants, she developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a life-threatening condition that causes severe inflammation of the intestines.

As part of our bereaved donor program, we have a scrapbook next to Carmen’s Trees filled with memories and photos of little lives lost but never forgotten. #MMBNTdonor Travishia recently added her little one, Tahvia’s page to this book, along with her story, photos, and a note for their little angel.
