Melissa is the co-founder of Mikayla’s Grace. She is blessed to be a mom to four children, 2 boys on earth, and two babies in Heaven. She works full time as an Optometrist at SSM Health. She felt called to start Mikayla’s Grace after losing her daughter Mikayla Grace in 2010. Her two angel babies, Mikayla and Chase, continue to inspire her to reach out to help others. Through Mikayla’s Grace she has found a passion to help others & educate the community on the impact that a loss through pregnancy or infancy has on a family.
We’re Building Strong Reputation
One of the greatest weaknesses in these global orphan estimates is that they include only orphans who are currently living in homes.

Foster Care – Fostering Hope
We Believe in the Wisdom of Mothers.
Mothers are often the primary caregivers and know what their families need most to succeed. Our programs are designed in true partnership with the mothers, encouraging them to participate in defining benefits and services for their children.
We Believe in Strong Families.
Unbound sponsorship goes beyond distributing material goods and empowers families to become self-sufficient. Families—those with both parents in the home and those headed by one parent or a guardian—are the pillars of a strong, supportive community.
