Josie's Story

On June 27th, 2023, Josie Anne Luevano was stillborn after her HDFN diagnosis was missed, and she did not receive the blood transfusions she needed to survive. Each year, we honor her birthday with a blood drive, and we are so proud to see her legacy help save lives. We are also honored to support The Allo Hope Foundation (AHF), which has played a cruicial role in our healing and helped us get Noah here safely.

Despite having more severe disease than Josie, Noah is a healthy and thriving toddler today thanks to God, the generosity of seven anonymous blood donors, hundreds of anonymous plasma donors, The Allo Hope Foundation, Dr. Trevett, and his incredible team.

Awareness and access to care could have saved Josie's life, and it did save Noah's. Thank you for helping us honor Josie and for protecting more families from these devastating losses. Your generosity brings education, treatment, and hope to those who need it most.

About AHF

Every year, mothers and babies around the world face a rare, life threatening condition called HDFN; when a mother’s blood creates antibodies that attack her baby’s red blood cells. With the right care, babies survive HDFN and thrive. Without it, the outcomes can be devastating.

That’s where the Allo Hope Foundation (AHF) comes in. AHF provides education, specialist referrals, global access initiatives, and research so that mothers and babies receive the lifesaving care and support they need during their HDFN diagnosis.

Your donation today helps:

Put a support booklet in the hands of a newly diagnosed mother so she can advocate for her baby
Fund a blood-type test or Rh immunoglobulin dose for a mother in a low-resource country.
Connect a family with a maternal–fetal specialist experienced in HDFN.
Advance research and education to prevent stillbirths and infant deaths caused by alloimmunization and HDFN.
