Our Story
Why The WildFlower Alliance?
When we began planning to become #MimsPartyof3 (now #MimsPartyof4), we were filled with excitement and hope, focused on getting it right and being great parents. Everything seemed typical until Harper was around 4 months old, when her pediatrician noticed that her head circumference was smaller than average, leading to an ultrasound. That moment marked a profound shift in our lives.
Up until then, there were no visible signs (at least to the untrained eye) that anything was amiss with Harper’s development. However, by the time she was 9 months old, she began missing key developmental milestones, like sitting up independently. At 18 months, Harper was diagnosed with Mild Cerebral Palsy.
So, what came next?
The first couple of years were isolating. As first-time parents, we had no idea what lay ahead or what resources were available to us. We didn’t know who to talk to that would truly understand. Our circle of support started to feel smaller. Despite LaToya’s background as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, navigating the maze of doctor’s appointments, diagnoses, treatment plans, therapies, and prescriptions became overwhelming and disheartening. And childcare—well, that’s a topic for another day.
The WildFlower Alliance became our beauty for ashes. TWA aims to bridge the gap between available support and those in need, ensuring no family faces this journey alone. Our vision is to improve the quality of life for these families, helping every child thrive and reach their fullest potential within their communities.
