I'm Sami, a Jesus lovin wife of 22 years to Joey & mother to our 8 incredible children + 2 son in loves, and grandma to the sweetest little girl there ever was. I adore sunny days, heated blankets, dark chocolate, tacos, decorating, creating, empowering other mommas & fighting injustice. 

In 2014 Joe & I were in the process of adopting 2 of our children, who have Down Syndrome, from China when I found myself standing across the room from a heart-broken mother in a malnutrition clinic & orphanage in Port Au Prince, Haiti. What I saw and felt that day changed the entire course of my life and, God willing, many other lives. I was contemplating our own children living in an orphanage as I watched mothers agonize over their ailing precious ones. As I watched them attend to their fragile children my heart was stirred & moved. Tears streamed down a mother’s cheek and in those life-altering moments I felt swallowed up by the puddle I knew she had wept over her child. The thoughts racing through my mind were “No mom should have to watch her child suffer or die because she can’t provide. No mom should have to leave her child behind. No child should have no mom.". In those breaking and building moments Nomom Co was birthed deep within me.

I will not relent in my dedication to mothers and children around the globe. Nomom Co exists to fight for families. We know that if a mother can provide nourishment, education, & medical care for her child she is empowered to raise the child herself. Many times mothers are forced to leave their children behind because they simply can’t provide. Nomom Co fights for families by curating fair trade items around the world that provide livable wages & by getting them into the hands of people who want to punch poverty with me.

Thank you for empowering me to empower others,

Sami
