In Support of Rivera Cruz Family (Baby Yashira)

Support Registry

Browse all the options to help, in one place.

On April 7th, Amber unexpectedly went into labor at just 22 weeks pregnant. A day later, on April 8th at 1:59 AM, Yashira made her brave entrance into the world. Though born incredibly early, this tiny warrior has shown nothing but strength and resilience from the very beginning. 

Yashira is currently in the NICU receiving critical care. Her mom and dad are staying close by in Tampa, never leaving her side. While they are focused fully on Yashira’s fight, the reality of extended time away from work, unexpected medical expenses, and the costs of being far from home have deeply impacted the family both emotionally and financially. 

This registry was created to give friends, family, and the community a way to stand beside them, whether by covering practical needs, helping offset medical expenses, or simply lifting them in prayer. All gifts made here will go directly to supporting Yashira’s care and helping her parents through this intense season. 

We’ll continue posting updates and sharing needs as they arise. Thank you for being part of Yashira’s journey and surrounding this family with hope and love. 💜

Whether you’re willing to give money, send meals, or lend a hand, your support makes a real difference.
Those who would like to help the family can:
  1. Choose from Support Registry options
  2. ‘Share’ to Spread the Word to family and friends
  3. ‘Follow’ Updates to stay informed
Thank you!

🇵🇷

El 7 de abril, Amber entró en parto inesperadamente con tan solo 22 semanas de embarazo. Un día después, el 8 de abril a la 1:59 AM, Yashira hizo su valiente entrada al mundo. Aunque nació increíblemente temprano, esta pequeña guerrera ha demostrado  desde el principio una fortaleza y resiliencia excepcional.

Yashira se encuentra actualmente en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales (UCIN) recibiendo atención crítica. Su madre y su padre permanecen cerca en Tampa, nunca apartándose de su lado. Mientras se concentran plenamente en la lucha de Yashira, la realidad de una prolongada ausencia del trabajo, los gastos médicos inesperados y los costos de estar lejos de casa han impactado profundamente a la familia, tanto emocional como financieramente. 

Este registro fue creado para ofrecer a familiares, amigos y a la comunidad una forma de estar a su lado, ya sea cubriendo necesidades prácticas, ayudando a compensar los gastos médicos o simplemente levantándolos en oración. Todos los regalos realizados aquí irán directamente a apoyar el cuidado de Yashira y  ayudar a sus padres a través de esta intensa temporada. 

Seguiremos publicando actualizaciones y compartiendo necesidades a medida que surjan. Gracias por apoyar a Yashira en esta estapa de su vida y por rodear a esta familia con esperanza y amor.  💜 

Ya sea que esté dispuesto a donar dinero, enviar comidas o echar una mano, su apoyo hace una gran diferencia. 
Aquellos que deseen ayudar a la familia pueden: 
  1. Elegir entre las opciones del Registro de Apoyo.
