Dear Yamile
I can’t believe it’s been 14 years since we launched Kangaroo Care Day! This day is extra special because it also marks my son Zach’s 24th birthday—a reminder of the power of nurturing touch and the incredible bond that transforms lives. Thanks to you, my profoundly personal journey has grown into a global movement.
