Directors


Founder

When Leo left the hospital, I tried endlessly to think of how I could thank his doctors and nurses. Nothing seemed right. Ultimately I came to the realization that the only way to express my gratitude was to help make the experience better for others. The Lion Tales Foundation was born.

Having spent months in the NICU with my son, I know that even the smallest gestures mean the world to families in these difficult situations. I'd like to show my gratitude and pay forward our experience.

I wanted to become involved with The Lion Tales Foundation after experiencing the full operation of the NICU for 7 ½ months. I had a rare opportunity to witness the positive development of a 25-week preemie with full family support and gained some understanding of others who were less fortunate.

I have two children who bring light and joy into my life every single day. Every parent should get to experience that and Lion Tales will help children persevere through the NICU experience.

I watched my nephew go through the many ups and downs of his lengthy NICU stay and the impact it had on our family. I want to help other families who are struggling through this challenging experience.

Lion Tales is about providing encouragement and relief to those who need courage to keep going. I want to do whatever I can to encourage and inspire that!

My son Anthony was born 15 weeks early. We spent 200 days in the NICU where I met Lisa. She and I bonded and experienced the NICU roller coaster ride together. I'm so thankful to have had other NICU moms for support and to have witnessed these babies fight along side my son and ultimately become NICU graduates! Giving back is an essential part of our path forward.
