As a mother of two, Sherrhia Braggs thought she knew everything there was to know about pregnancy. But your gift allowed her to experience something new when she was pregnant with her third child: support.

“I felt much more prepared with this one than with the last two,” she says. “Mercy helped make sure I was going to my appointments. They told me about different resources that were available to me."

Sherrhia had her two previous children in Michigan. Since relocating to Lorain, she's been well cared for. Your gift to support Moms & Babies in Lorain means mothers like Sherrhia have what they need during pregnancy and after birth. When her baby was born, Sherrhia got to enjoy improved amenities in the labor and delivery wing of Mercy Health - Lorain Hospital. Your donation helped make those improvements possible.

“Thank you for providing this great program. We really appreciate it.”

“Everyone made me feel comfortable and welcome there at the hospital,” Sherrhia says. “The facility was nice, clean and everything we needed was right there in the room."

As Sherrhia adjusts to her expanded family, your gift is still helping through the Mercy Health Resource Mothers Program. Most people don't know that car seats have a lifespan of 6-10 years. You helped her get a new one to keep her baby safe. If money is tight and she can't afford diapers, she knows who to call.

Sherrhia is grateful that you gave to provide the support for her baby and for herself.
