Bio

NICU Survivor | Non-Profit Founder of MTM Living Hope


My Story 📖

⌛️September 1999....

* I was born prematurely weighing 2lbs 9oz
* 2 months spent in neonatal intensive care unit
* Survived two serious Bacterial infections
* Conquered a heart complication
* I miraculously ripped out my breathing tube and began breathing on my own two days before my scheduled tracheostomy surgery


⌛️February 2004.....

* Doctors discovered that my airway was underdeveloped and the size of a ball point pen 🖊
* I had my airway fully rebuilt and reconstructed to prevent long term breathing complications

⌛️January 2020 ...

The pandemic hit and
I knew I had to make a difference because ..

- NICU care cost $3,000/ day
- Preterm birth is the leading cause of death for infants in the United States


⌛️March 2020...

I started my nonprofit

📍Our mission :

💥Our impact :
