My name is Misty Campbell. I live in East Canton Ohio. I’m 36 years old with 5 children, all ranging from college to preschool. I grew up in North Lawrence Ohio and graduated from Tuslaw High School in 2003. I met Ashley, the founder of Houston’s Lift Off in late 2020. She was a dog groomer at the time and was nice enough to travel to my home to groom my dog because I was having long effects of COVID 19. We became quick friends, it was as if I had known her my whole life. She told me her story about her son Houston and how he had spent many months in the NICU before his passing, and at that moment I knew God had put her in my path for a reason. 

My brother and his wife had struggled many years to have children, to no avail. Finally after many go arounds with IVF they became pregnant with my nephew. It was the baby they had always dreamed of having. My sister-in- law had a rough pregnancy that eventually ended with her having her son at 31 weeks. He spent 3 weeks in the NICU and for our family it was some of the hardest weeks of our lives. Their son has continued to struggle the whole 3 years of his life, battling a rare form of cancer and after many surgeries is now cancer free. So this foundation means more to me than life itself. When I was asked to be a part of this, I knew this was Gods will. I just want to help people so all they have to do is make sure their babies get well.
