El legado de donaciones de Da'Kota Washington

Mother Holding Newborn Baby

Da'Kota Washington nació por cesárea en agosto, y su placenta fue la primera en ser donada como parte del nuevo programa de Arizona que brinda a las mamás y sus bebés la oportunidad de ayudar a los demás.

“Si dona, puede marcar una diferencia real para las personas”, dijo Ja'Leisa. “Me hace sentir muy bien que Da'Kota haya nacido y ya esté haciendo algo increíble.

"Con ese tipo de comienzo, sé que hará cosas buenas en la vida".

Algún día, Da'Kota podrá abogar por la donación de placenta y otros obsequios que se pueden dar.

“Las placentas van a la basura”, dijo Ja'Leisa. “En la basura no ayuda a nadie. Done y marque la diferencia para otras personas que tienen heridas que no se curan por sí solas.

"Incluso podrías ayudar a alguien de tu propia familia".
