About Harpersfairyinc.org
Our Special Story: Remembering Harper
After years of hope and heartbreak, my husband and I finally welcomed our daughter Harper after five tries—our miracle baby, carried to term. She was a beautiful NICU baby, and for 8 precious days, we held her close and dreamed of her future. Tragically, Harper lost her battle with NEC, leaving us with unimaginable grief but also a mission to help others.
Throughout our journey, one scripture gave us strength and hope:
“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.”
— 1 Samuel 1:27
This verse is woven into our story, a reminder of the deep love and faith that carried us through. Our mission is to ensure no family walks this path alone, and Harper’s legacy lives on in every family we support.
