“Not a day goes by that I don’t feel the immense loss of Olivia, Edison and Colette in my life. My journey as a mom started off no different than others. Emerging from the early trenches of diapers and play dates, I began to realize the weight and responsibility of raising these little humans to become good samaritans of a greater collective. While my time with them was cut short, my commitment to them remains through this foundation.”
