A Personal Journey of Resilience and Giving Back
Ms Devika overcame the odds after spending five months in Akron Children's NICU; she was born at just 23 weeks gestation and weighed only one pound six ounces. Although her two triplets did not survive, her tenacity drove a lifetime of helping other families going through similar hardships.
Ms Devika has stayed near the hospital, volunteered in the NICU, and helped with studies meant to raise newborn outcomes. Her lobbying efforts have brought her to national conferences where she presents her viewpoint as both a survivor and a champion of improved newborn treatment. Inspired by her path, she started Strength in Tiny Packages (a Division of BE THE VOYCE non-profit 501-c3) to make sure families dealing with postpartum issues or premature birth have the emotional and useful help they need.
