Stand With Adriana and her Baby Boy—When No One Else Will

Adriana Smith was a nurse, a daughter, and a devoted mom. At just nine weeks pregnant, she suffered a devastating medical emergency at 9 weeks pregnant and was declared “brain dead”. However, her preborn baby still has a heartbeat—and a chance at life.

While Adriana can no longer speak for herself, her son’s life still matters. Her doctors are doing the right thing by treating him as a unique patient. Right now, the baby boy is about 21 weeks old, and Adriana’s doctors want to give him just a little more time, until he’s fully grown to 32 weeks, before they safely deliver him via cesarean. 

 

Tragically, Adriana’s family does not want to continue her life support, which would kill her developing child. The financial costs of medical care for Adriana and her son are a burden they’re struggling to bear.  

 

That’s why Students for Life of America and our Standing With You initiative are stepping in—to fight for this baby boy’s life and spare this already hurting family from the additional trauma of losing an innocent child.

 

They need compassionate aid – not activists and media voices pressuring them towards violence.

 

Help us defend Adriana’s preborn baby and provide the support needed to protect his life by chipping in right away.
