Hello, we are the Parents of Baby Gabriel. We were told early in our pregnancy that Gabriel had a terminal condition. It broke our hearts and left us angry and confused. We were hit with this terrible darkness and needed some light. We decided it was best to donate because in a way it gave us that glimmer of light and made us feel a little bit of comfort knowing he could make an impact on others in their time of need. Gabriel was born in August of 2023, He gave us time to meet him and let him know how much we loved him. He passed away 10 hours after birth. He was able to donate and give another family hope. Gabriel also helped jump-start the Birth Tissue Program here at Presbyterian Downtown. Birth Tissue can be donated even when the mother or baby are perfectly healthy.
