Isagenix as a company is looking into ways to support important organizations like the TTTS Foundation
Isagenix is considering releasing a new pilot program to support important organizations like the Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome Foundation. This a a cause that is close to our hearts because we have been personally effect of the devastating effects this disease. We are so proud to be associated with a company like Isagenix. One that that offers it’s associates so much. One that would help it’s associates support organization that save lives.
Here is our consideration letter- Where is yours? What’s your cause?
What is TTTS?
-Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a disease of the placenta (or afterbirth) that affects identical twin pregnancies.
-TTTS affects identical twins (or higher multiple gestations) who share a common monochorionic placenta.
-The shared placenta contains abnormal blood vessels which connect the umbilical cord and circulations of the twins.
-The common placenta may also be shared unequally by the twins
-The events in pregnancy that lead to TTTS are all random.
-TTTS is not hereditary or genetic, nor caused by anything the parents did or did not do.
-TTTS can happen to anyone.
It happened to us. On January 2, 2004, at 21 weeks, our world changed forever as we were told at a routine ultrasound, that “nothing could be done to save our twins” and that one option was to “abort the pregnancy”.
We did not listen. Fortunately, we found the The Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome Foundation. It is the first and only international 501c.3. nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing immediate and lifesaving educational, emotional and financial support to families, medical professionals and other caregivers before, during and after a diagnosis of twin to twin transfusion syndrome.The TTTS Foundation is dedicated to saving the babies, improving their future health and care, providing NICU, special needs and bereavement support, furthering medical research and keeping families together the way twins are meant to be.
Because the foundation was there to educate us and our doctors, our twin boys Alex and Ben are with us today. They are healthy and strong, sweet and cute. Everything that two 6 year old boys should be. We are grateful to the TTTS Foundation and would love an opportunity to support their effort to save babies, educate doctors and help families.
We are so impressed that Isagenix as a company is looking into ways to support important organizations like the TTTS Foundation and would like to be considered as one of the first associates to be involved in the pilot program.
Thank you for your commitment, your products and your consideration,
Gabby & Bryan
