My name is Nelly Alvarez. I have been blessed to be joined in holy matrimony to my best friend and partner for life. We have three children which include our hope baby, Corbin Noah. Corbin was our firstborn son, who was born at 22 weeks and 4 days gestation on March 27, 2014 due to me having an incompetent cervix. My sweet son lived for 2 hours and 3 minutes and I cherish those sacred moments of his life. Because of Corbin’s life and passing, my whole world was shaken. I didn’t know women who had faced infant loss. I was the first in my family. Soon after Corbin’s passing, I received a hope box. I became plugged in to hope mommies and attending my first retreat in February 2015 just before his one year anniversary. Meeting with other hope moms and sharing my son in a safe place was crucial in my healing journey. Sweet mommies, we are not along in this journey of life and loss. I am honored to hear about your babies and be entrusted with the stories you will share. I am praying fervently that our time together will be honoring God, but also that He comforts, restores, and provides peace as only He can.
