Allyssa Meyerhofer is a nurse at the Mayo Clinic, and she lives in southeastern Minnesota with her husband, who is a farmer, and her three beautiful girls. Following the diagnosis of her youngest daughter, who has trisomy 9p, she has dedicated herself to becoming an advocate in the caregiving and disability world. An incredibly loyal person who's never met a stranger, she loves to connect and make friends and can be described as a foodie. One of her passions includes helping parents find the resources she wasn't originally given as well as the space to validate their feelings. Although Allyssa never planned to write a book or become an advocate, she has since found her calling and discovered what she was meant to do.
