On March 13, 2018, Owen Phillip Watt died from medical negligence shortly after an intrauterine blood transfusion procedure.
This year we get to honor Owen with a blood drive and hope to see his legacy help save lives. We are also honored to support the Allo Hope Foundation (AHF), which has played a crucial role in our healing and helped us get Lillian and Hannah her safely.
Despite having more severe disease than Owen, both Lillian and Hannah are healthy and thriving today thanks to God, the generosity of many anonymous blood donors(11 total blood transfusions), hundreds of anonymous plasma donors, The Allo Hope Foundation, Dr. Markham in Cincinnati, and her incredible team.
Awareness and access to appropriate medical care could have saved Owen's life, and it did save Lillian and Hannah's. Thank you for helping us honor Owen and for protecting more families from these devastating losses. Your generosity brings education, treatment, and hope to those who need it most.

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.
