“I am one of three sons raised by a single mother. My Mom would often tell me that during her labor with me, my Uncle Lloyd, an obstetrician, did an emergency C-section, saving both our lives. Seeing how difficult it is for women like my mother experiencing arduous childbirth makes me want to help any way I can. I feel I owe both my mother and uncle for my life, and my work with MHF is my repayment.”
