Grady’s Christmas Stocking!

Turning Fear into Hope for Moms & Babies Around the World

This Giving Tuesday and during the Christmas season we are raising money for the 5th year for The Allo Hope Foundation to honor Grady’s journey with HDFN and to help protect other babies from this potentially deadly disease. Please join me in sharing HOPE with those who need it most by contributing to Grady’s Fundraiser.

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.

In our case, we experienced the devastating. For those of you who are not familiar with our story, Grady, unfortunately, lost his battle to HDFN related to not having the best care he could receive, and without the Allo Hope, our Quinnie girl likely would not be here. This stocking fundraiser helps us during the holiday season to help feel that Grady lost his battle for a reason. 

AHF (Allo Hope Foundation) 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.

This Giving Tuesday and throughout the Holiday season, we are raising money for AHF to honor Grady’s battle with HDFN and to help protect other babies from preventable harm. Please join me in sharing hope with those who need it most by contributing to Grady's Stocking Fundraiser.

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.

Thank you for helping us honor Grady and for standing with families facing HDFN around the world. Your generosity brings education, treatment, and hope to those who need it most.

From our family to yours, we wish you a beautiful and peaceful holiday season.

Love, The McDougal’s 🎄
