Two black and white photographs depict the tiny hands and feet of premature newborn twins. In the first image, a hand is gently holding the tiny foot of one of the babies, revealing the extreme fragility and delicate state of the prematurely born infants. The second photograph shows two minuscule feet protruding from a blanket, further emphasizing the vulnerable and underdeveloped condition of the twins who were born far too early. The stark, raw images convey a sense of concern and highlight the precarious fight for survival that these babies face.

Premature Twins Fight for Life

On this mother's day I was reminded how lucky I am to have a beautiful healthy baby. My good friend Kim was not as fortunate. She just had an emergency premature delivery of her twins while she was abroad in Portugal at 24 weeks. Not only are her sweet little ones fighting for their lives but her and her husband are now stuck in Portugal for an indefinite amount of time, not able to work, and racking up bills for now having to live there for months.
