Help Our Miracle Twins Survive and Grow

Hi everyone,

We never thought we'd be writing something like this. But as parents, there is nothing we wouldn't do for our babies.

Our journey with our twins, Amelie Sky and Eliana Gale, has been filled with hope, fear, and many prayers.

Early on, they were mono-mono twins, making the pregnancy very high-risk. Then at 18 weeks, a small miracle: the separating membrane appeared, and they became mono-di twins. Our OB said this gave us a real chance to carry them longer, possibly up to 34 to 36 weeks.

We held on tightly to that hope.

But the road was far from easy. I was placed on bed rest, advised to stop working night shifts, and went through two frightening episodes of threatened miscarriage during my first trimester. Still, we kept believing.

Later, I was diagnosed with APS (Antiphospholipid Syndrome), an autoimmune condition that causes blood clotting and serious pregnancy complications, along with gestational diabetes. I was admitted for four days of close monitoring, and eventually, our doctor made the difficult call to deliver early to protect our babies.

Millie and Ellie were born at just 28 weeks, only about 6 and a half to 7 months into the pregnancy.

Right now, our tiny fighters are in the NICU, growing and fighting quietly every single day. They are so small, so fragile. It breaks our hearts to see them hooked up to machines and monitors, but it also fills us with awe, because even at this size, they are showing us what strength looks like.

We truly believe Millie and Ellie are our miracle babies.

The doctors said they will need to stay in the NICU for about 2 to 3 months to continue getting stronger. We are doing everything we can, but the cost of their care has become overwhelming for our family.

With this, we are humbly reaching out and asking for your help during this very difficult time.

All donations will go directly toward:

- Their NICU stay and hospital bills

- Ventilator and incubator support

- Medicines and other medical needs as they continue their fight to survive and grow stronger

Every bit of help, no matter how small, brings us closer to the day we can finally bring Millie and Ellie home.

We will be providing regular updates on their condition and progress so that everyone who supports us can follow their journey and see how their generosity is making a real difference.

Full transparency: Every peso spent from your donations will be documented and posted under the "Updates" tab of this campaign, so donors will always know exactly where the proceeds are going.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Thank you for helping us hold on to hope.

From two hopeful parents holding on for our little miracles,

Diane and Herson Privaldos
