Hello Ellie

Danielle & Danny Ortega

May 7, 2026

Thank you for the love and support you give our growing family and our little rainbow baby girl. Many of you know our story and have supported us through each miscarriage. The last one on Christmas Day 2024 really broke us. As we prepare to welcome our little one, our hearts are full of excitement, love, and hope. One of the greatest gifts we can give our baby, and ourselves, is time: time to heal, to bond, and to settle into this new chapter together.

Because my parental leave is unpaid, taking that time comes with real financial challenges. Contributions to our parental leave fund help ease that weight and allow us to be fully present during those early, irreplaceable weeks to focus on recovery, connection, and becoming a family.

Your love and support mean more to us than we can put into words. We are so deeply grateful to have you alongside us as we begin this journey.
