has been active with Neo-Fight in a variety of capacities since the loss of Levi's twin brother, Luke, who was stillborn at
33 weeks.
Theresa White
Crisis Line Coordinator
Theresa has been involved with Neo-Fight since 1995, one year after her second child was born. Will arrived 3 months
early @ 2 lbs. 5 oz. and 14 1/4" long. Amongst many other problems, his main obstacle was that he could not breathe on his
own leading to a 3 month stay at Riley Hospital. Will had many obstacles that he overcame and he is now a healthy boy with
Autism. Being active in Neo-Fight was one way Theresa decided she could help others who were going through their
own neonatal crisis. Theresa is an active Neo-Fight Listener, and has been Board Secretary. She is currently
the Crisis Line Coordinator. Theresa feels Neo-Fight is different than most support groups in that it promotes healing
and getting past the crisis that you have experienced.
Kathleen Smith
Secretary
Kathleen has been involved with Neo-Fight, since the loss of her son, Charles, in 1999. She called
Neo-Fight for support shortly after losing Charles. Current President, Michie Sebree, called Kathleen within
ten minutes of paging the crisis line at a time when she was desperate to talk with another parent that understood such heartache.
In 2000, Kathleen completed training to become a Neo-Fight Listener and trained volunteer. She has since
helped Neo-Fight in various areas of peer mentor support. Kathleen is honored to continue serving Neo-Fight
as Secretary, assist our communities and most of all support families experiencing a perinatal crisis.
