Tim and Kayla Kiedrowski are lifelong Lorain County residents. Their roots go back generations. In fact, long before they officially met, Tim and Kayla likely crossed paths many times. Her grandfather’s chiropractic office was just three doors down from the Kiedrowski’s family bakery.

“It’s a small reminder of how closely connected our community truly is,” Tim says.

Your gift to support health care in Lorain County shows you also value a closely connected community. Tim and Kayla benefited from your generosity when Kayla gave birth to their daughter at the Veard Family Birthing Center.

“We were very impressed with the environment and the quality of care it offered,” says Tim. “Kayla and our daughter were cared for with compassion, dignity and respect throughout the entire experience.”

Tim is proud that such a high-quality, dedicated birthing center exists in Lorain. He also knows that donors like you are the reason why.

“We feel extremely grateful,” says Tim. “It demonstrates how deeply our community cares about the continued advancement of our region. It is inspiring to know that donors are committed to sustaining this essential resource. Families continue to access high-quality maternity care close to home because of it.”

Tim also appreciates that their child was born in a place that aligns with their values.

“Faith plays a role in every decision we make,” he says. “And choosing where to deliver our child was no exception. Knowing that Mercy Health is a Catholic hospital added comfort and reassurance for our family.”
