Editor’s Note: The following story involves a discussion about stillbirth, which might be upsetting to some readers. For mental health resources and support, visit the #SafeToTalk online community or contact the Employee Assistance Program.

At 38 weeks pregnant, Iaishia Smith was told that her unborn daughter Savannah had no heartbeat.

While going through the physical and emotional pain from this heartbreaking loss, Iaishia got involved with the March of Dimes organization.

March of Dimes is a community dedicated to supporting moms and babies by providing research, funding, education, and support programs. Their work helps to transform and save lives, and Cisco has been supporting their work for over 20 years.

Iaishia works with March of Dimes to transform her pain into purpose in the hopes that others will not have to share her experience.
