A person's hands gently cradle a newborn baby wrapped in a patterned blanket against a background of patterned fabric.

My sweet Luca John was taken from me far too soon, but the love I have for my son will never have an ending. He may not be here in my arms, but he will forever be a part of my heart, my life, and everything I do. In Luca&rsquo;s honor, I am fundraising through the Isla Jade Foundation to donate a cooling unit in his name. This gift will allow other mothers to spend precious, meaningful time with their little ones after loss&mdash;to hold them, say goodbye, create memories, and grieve without having to rush those moments. We can&rsquo;t change what happened to Luca, but we can carry his love forward and help make sure his life creates a lasting impact. Forever my little boy, forever loved, and forever remembered. -Luca&#39;s Mom, Michele<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1790436204/wysiwyg/uneruxrkhqes3thtwbem.jpg" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">----------------------------------------- Pregnancy and infant loss is more common than many people realize.

Dear&nbsp;<span contenteditable="false" data-custom-variable="{{firstname}}" fr-original-class="fr-deletable styled-tag-chip" fr-original-style="" style="color: rgb(42, 42, 196); overflow-wrap: anywhere; user-select: none; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 255); border: 1px solid rgb(191, 191, 255); border-radius: 4px; margin: 0px; padding: 1px 8px; font-size: 11px; display: inline-block; box-sizing: inherit;">First name, Your gift is helping Michele carry Luca&rsquo;s love forward in an incredibly meaningful way. Funds raised through this campaign will support the placement of a bereavement cooling unit in Luca&rsquo;s name, giving other families something that is truly priceless after the loss of a baby: more time. Time to hold their baby. Time to take photographs and create memories. Time to say hello and goodbye without feeling rushed. When this cooling unit is placed, it will carry Luca&rsquo;s name and his legacy into a hospital where it will continue touching families for years to come. Every family it serves will be another reminder that Luca was here, he is deeply loved, and his life continues to make an impact. On behalf of Michele and all of us at The Isla Jade Foundation, thank you for being part of Luca&rsquo;s legacy and helping another family receive compassion, dignity, and the gift of time during an unimaginable loss. Luca John, forever loved. Forever remembered. With heartfelt gratitude, Jessica Smith
