Meet Noelle. This passionate mom realized she needed to create a community of like-minded parents after her 1-year-old endured a long ICU visit followed by a Type 1 diagnosis. She created "Type 1 Kid, Type A Mom" with other high-risk families working to keep their kids safe during the pandemic. The experience led her to KidLinks, a nonprofit bringing healing music to children through an online platform and musical performances.
