Melissa’s first introduction to the MISS foundation occurred after the stillbirth of her son in 2001. She attended the first of what would be many MISS support groups and soon realized that her heart led her to serve others who have lost children before their time. Melissa and her husband Martin “Maverick” live in Phoenix with their precious daughter Isabella and are proud supporters of the MISS foundation.
