Parenthood is not defined by genetics, ability level, or society’s rigid expectations.

It is defined by:

Love.

Dedication.

Responsibility.

Sacrifice.

Steadfast commitment.

Qualities that Lisa has always had.

Breaking Barriers — Inspiring a New Generation

Today, Patti is proud of her daughter — not for defying society’s expectations, but for living authentically, courageously, and compassionately.

She is proud of Nic — for growing into a remarkable young man.

And she is proud of the family they built — one that is united not by perfection, but by love.

Their story is a message to the world:

A family is not defined by how it looks.

A family is defined by how it loves.

And Lisa, Patti, and Nic have always been — and always will be — a powerful example of what love can build.
