For Moms. For Sisters. For Friends.
Violet
Violet is 12 years old and an advocate by lived experience.
She is the sister of adopted siblings, medical siblings, and NICU siblings — a role that has shaped her heart, her awareness, and her voice. Violet has grown up watching resilience up close: hospital rooms, medical equipment, hard days, and harder goodbyes. She has also grown up seeing love show up — again and again.
Advocacy, to Violet, isn’t loud. It’s steady.
It’s standing beside someone when the world doesn’t slow down for them.
It’s protecting dignity. It’s noticing who gets overlooked. It’s choosing compassion when it would be easier to look away.
Violet represents the siblings — the ones who learn early that love means action.
Amelia
Amelia was adopted from foster care and brings her own lived experience into advocacy every single day.
She navigates medical challenges herself while also being a sibling to NICU and medically complex children. She understands — personally — what it means to need support, patience, and systems that actually listen.
Amelia’s advocacy comes from knowing both sides:
the child who needs care, and the sibling who learns empathy through experience.
She reminds us that advocacy isn’t theoretical.
It’s personal.
It’s about access, safety, dignity, and belonging — especially for children who have already faced more than they should have.
Amelia embodies what Born Advocate stands for: love that doesn’t stop at caring but moves into action.
