Babies are the biggest blessings for a family. However, sometimes things go south. And at times like these, it is fighting through the storm that makes it count. Similar is the story of Adriana Pineda and Hector Martinez. Ten days before their due date, the couple shared that their baby boy showed significant signs of distress and had to be delivered via emergency C-section. As the hours passed, additional complications arose, culminating in the discovery of a major stroke affecting both sides of his brain. The doctors were still uncertain about the cause but acknowledged that, given the extent of the damage, it was difficult to offer much hope.

Despite the challenges, they reported that baby Aaron was doing what babies do best—fighting strong. His IV and oxygen machine had been turned off, and he was regulating his own temperature. However, the doctor had also mentioned that he would not survive for more than five days. So the couple put him under care and visited daily. They also started a GoFundMe account to make sure the treatment never stops, and they can give baby Aaron as much time on this planet as possible. That did work out as Aaron lived for almost four years. But the couple was hit with the sad news just a few hours ago.

Adriana Pineda took to her official Instagram account and shared pictures of the family holding hands, and the other one was of her kissing her baby. In the caption, she wrote, “My sweet baby boy went back into the stars this morning at 9:03 AM, surrounded by his family. Peacefully, sweetly, and draped in love, he took his final breaths in his mother‘s arms. Of all the ways I imagined his passing could go, that was my dream come true. He was my dream come true.”

He had been struggling since the last week, and just two days ago, the family had been made aware that he would not survive much longer. Yet she thanked everyone for the love and support people gave them through the years. Additionally, she also added, “Our family has set up a GoFundMe if folks wish to support us monetarily as we take time to ourselves to honor our baby boy and grieve. Birds surrounded our house in his final days, so do me a favor and feed some birds today. We love you.”

This left LPGA Tour golfer Jane Park overwhelmed. She shared a screenshot of the post on her Instagram story and even requested her fans to help them by attaching a link to their GoFundMe account. “Aaron Mateo took his last breath before his long sleep today. Rest in love, sweet boy. If you feel that you can help this family, the link is below”, she wrote.

The LPGA Tour pro Jane Park knows the pain of seeing your child suffer. She relates to it. She has seen her child suffer since 2021.

Jane Park’s daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy

On July 1, 2021, Jane Park’s 10-month-old daughter, Grace, was rushed to the hospital after experiencing seizures and brain swelling. Park shared the news on her Instagram after missing the cut at the Volunteers of America Classic, revealing that she and her husband, Pete Godfrey, who caddies for Ariya Jutanugarn, were both taking time off to stay with their daughter in Dallas. In response, LPGA veteran Tiffany Joh set up a GoFundMe to support the family, helping ease the burden of daily expenses during this difficult time.

“All of your messages and Venmo gifts for food serve as a boost in our battery to charge up and give us the strength to get up and fight for our little one. So we thank you. Every one of you. Even the messages from people I don’t know, I have read all of them. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to getting my words down again shortly to help cope with what we are going through,” she said.

Grace was diagnosed with refractory epilepsy, which means that medicine can’t stop her seizures. She is nonverbal, but Park says she is a remarkable little person. The Parks are now, however, living a happy life, accepting the fate of their child.
