I Became an Immigrant Overnight: My Daughter’s Diagnosis Changed Everything

In this video, I’m sharing the emotional journey that led me to leave my home country of Belize with nothing but the clothes on my back, all because I wanted better for my daughter, Alyssa. She was diagnosed with Rett syndrome and it changed our lives forever.

I risked everything for Alyssa, and while our path hasn’t been easy, I know it was the right choice to give her the best chance at a better life. This video is not just about our challenges; it’s about the strength and hope we’ve found along the way.

Join me as I open up about our story. If you want to know more about that life-changing diagnosis or how we adjusted to life in a new country, please let me know in the comments.
