Our Story
OUR FOUNDERS
Jesse & Tracy Pella
The Pella's are the parents of Cooper, Cohen, Frannie, and Maybry. After the trauma of Cooper & Cohen's birth at 23 weeks, 4 days, resulting in Cohen’s passing and Cooper spending 134 days in the NICU, they were driven to start Connected Forever to help other families who have experienced a similar journey. Their family was blessed with Frannie's full term arrival. Maybry made her appearance at 34 weeks, 2 days, and spent 14 days in the NICU.
Our Board and Staff
Connected Forever wouldn't be possible without the help of our amazing team. We are so grateful to all of our board members and staff who help further our mission across Nebraska.
