Kelli was nominated by a new mother, whose birth plan took a turn during both a hurricane evacuation from her home and an unexpected Cesarean section. "Not only was she an amazing nurse but she went above and beyond to be there for me," shared the mother. "With not knowing if the hurricane was going to wreck my home and having a C-section that was nowhere near part of my birth plan, it was an emotionally tiring day. Kelli was able to calm me down and give me that intimate moment with my baby boy, holding him on my chest. I will always remember the strides Kelli took that day to make it the most perfect day of my life."
