🌍 OUR CAUSE

• Organization Founded: Jace’s Journey Inc, a non-profit organization, was founded in 2018 to address racial disparities in maternal health outcomes.
• Concerning Statistics: The US is the only industrialized nation with rising maternal mortality rates, disproportionately affecting women of color.
• Impact on Mothers: African-American mothers are dying at 3-4 times the rate of non-Hispanic whites.
• Impact on Infants: Infants born to African-American mothers are dying at twice the rate as infants born to non-Hispanic white mothers.

🩺 OUR STORY

In May of 2019, Brandon Isaac sat in a hospital room with his son, Jace Alexander, due in a month with no fetal heartbeat and his wife, Tomeka, unconscious, diagnosed with the life-threatening H.E.L.L.P Syndrome and fighting for her life. Forty-five (45) hospital days and 7 surgeries later, thanks to prayers and an amazing surgical team, Tomeka, and Brandon Isaac left the hospital together.

💔 HONORING JACE

The couple learned Tomeka’s sickness and Jace’s death could have been prevented. In honor of their son, the Isaacs created Jace’s Journey to raise awareness and contribute to improving maternal/fetal healthcare disparities.
