Medical Mom Village, Rockwall, TX (2026)

09/04/2026

Medical moms, I have a question for you. 💗

What is something someone did for you during a hard season that probably felt small to them… but meant EVERYTHING to you?

Maybe someone brought you coffee without asking what you wanted.

Dropped dinner on your porch and didn’t expect you to socialize.

Sat with you in a hospital room.

Picked up your other kids.

Sent you $20 for food while you were inpatient.

Did your laundry.

Remembered an appointment you were nervous about and texted you that morning.

Or maybe they just kept checking in, even when you sucked at responding.

I think sometimes people want to support medical families, but they don’t know what to do. They think it has to be some huge gesture when, honestly, some of the things I remember most from our hardest seasons were the smallest.

So let’s give them some ideas. ❤️

What did someone do for you that made you think, damn… I really needed that?

Drop it in the comments. You never know who might read your answer and realize exactly how they can show up for a medical mom in their own life. 💗

Okay Village, let’s fill this cart. 💗

Our NICU Snack Cart with Project Mom Bags officially launches at Children’s Medical Center Dallas on November 13, and now we get to do what this Village does best — show up.

We created an Amazon Wishlist with snacks, drinks, coffee and other grab-and-go goodies that will go directly onto the cart for NICU families during those very long hospital days.

And we’re already getting started. 🥹 A huge thank you to Michael Bratcher for making a financial donation that will be used to purchase snacks for the cart!

If you’d like to help, you can grab one item or twenty from the wishlist. Every single thing helps us get closer to rolling in on November 13 with a FULL cart.

And if purchasing isn’t in the cards right now, sharing this post or the wishlist helps us just as much. 💗

Let’s fill her up, Village. 🛒💗

We’ve been keeping a pretty exciting secret. 💗

Medical Mom Village is officially partnering with Project Mom Bags by sponsoring their NICU Snack Cart at Children’s Medical Center Dallas, launching November 13!

This one means a lot to me.

When your baby is in the NICU, taking care of yourself quickly falls to the bottom of the list. You miss meals. You survive on coffee. You sit bedside for hours because there is nowhere else in the world you want to be.

But moms matter, too.

Project Mom Bags is bringing a Snack Cart directly to NICU families, stocked with snacks, drinks, coffee and grab and go items for those long days at the hospital, and Medical Mom Village gets to help make that possible by sponsoring the cart. 💗

And because our heart has always been supporting medical moms beyond the hospital walls, we’ll also be sharing Medical Mom Village resources so these moms know there is a Village waiting for them when they go home.

Now we need YOUR help filling the cart!

We created a dedicated Amazon Wishlist with items needed to help stock the Snack Cart and get it ready for launch:

Every bag of snacks. Every K Cup. Every case of water. It all adds up to one simple message:

We see you, Mom. We’re here. You’re not doing this alone. 🩷

November 13. Let’s fill this thing.

So excited to finally share a little piece of what we’ve been working on. 🩷

More from us tomorrow because you KNOW I have more to say about this one. 🥹🩷

August was a little slower in the Village, and for that, we are thankful. 🩷

But when a medical mom needed us, the Village still showed up.

Swipe through to see what love looked like in August. ➡️

And to our monthly donors, thank you. Your continued support allows us to keep saying, “We’ve got you,” when a medical mom reaches out. We truly couldn’t do this without you.

If you’re interested in becoming a monthly donor so we never have to turn a mom away, or so we can continue expanding the connection opportunities our moms desperately crave, I’ll drop the link in the comments. 🩷

Love Delivered. Always.

This. This is my favorite part about the Village. 🩷

One of our medical moms has a medically complex kiddo, and right now, that kiddo’s sibling is inpatient. So tonight, we’re sending a little love and support to Mom with a care package.

The care package itself was generously donated by my husband’s aunt, and because we’ve had such an incredible influx of donations lately, we were able to add a few extra pieces of love:

✨ Bedazzle art donated by fellow medical mom Catherine Winn
☕ A cup donated by fellow medical mom Heather Rae Watkins Hudson
🩷 A Mary Kay package donated by Sydney Gresham

And somehow, this next part might be my favorite.

A dear friend of mine/ volunteer Julie Dawn Tillman has been awake since 3 AM and worked ALL DAY. She left her shift, came to my house to pick up the care package, and because she is way too exhausted to safely make the drive herself, her husband said, “I’ll drive you.” So he’s taking time out of his Saturday to drive her to Children’s Plano just so they can make sure another mom feels a little less alone tonight.

I literally cannot make this stuff up.

One person donates a care package.
Another donates something to help pass those long hospital hours.
Another donates a cup.
Another donates a little self care.
One says, “I’ll get it there.”
And her husband says, “I’ll drive you.”

None of these people had to do any of it.

They just did.

Everyone gave a little piece of what they could, and somehow all of those little pieces came together to love on one mom during a hard season.

THIS is the power of love and support.

THIS is the power of the Village. 🩷

Love Delivered. 🏠🩷

🩷 TWO SPOTS FOR YOGA WITH RYA THIS SUNDAY! 🧘‍♀️☕️

We have a fun little last minute opportunity for two local medical moms to join Rya this Sunday, August 23rd!

We’ll meet in Rockwall around 3:00 PM for drinks on the Village, hang out for a bit, and then head over to YogaSix Rockwall for a yoga class together. 🩷

Yoga is covered too!

This one is specifically for moms local to the Rockwall, Fate, Royse City, or Wylie area since YogaSix is offering Rya a couple of guest spots for local friends.

Please only claim a spot if you KNOW you can commit to being there this Sunday. Since we only have two spots available, we want to make sure they’re able to be used

Only two spots available, so first come, first served!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT 🩷 NATALIA

This woman… THIS woman. 🥹🩷

Natalia Nagy found Medical Mom Village on Instagram and reached out because she recognized me from Children’s. As it turns out, our kids had been admitted around the same time, their rooms were close to each other, and one of her twin girls is also a trach baby.

She told me she loved what I was building with the Village and that one day, when life allowed, she would love to help.

And let me emphasize this part: Natalia has TWIN medically complex little girls. She works full time. She lives almost an hour away from our home base. So my answer was basically, girl, absolutely ZERO pressure. 😂 We would love to have you whenever and however you were able.

At first, she was simply another medical mom we got to love on. We sent her coffee money a few times. She joined Rya for Yoga with Rya. Then she started giving back, making donations to the Village herself.

And somewhere along the way, she quietly became one of the women I turn to again and again.

Natalia has helped Rya set up and lead events like our Mother’s Day Spa Day and our recent resource booth. She has also become our unofficial resident “please take all the pictures and videos so Michelle actually has content to post later” lady. 😂 She has become a face for the Village and someone I trust to represent what we’re building.

But one of my favorite things Natalia brings to the Village has nothing to do with events or content.

Natalia is also incredibly empathetic and has this ability to see things from angles my Enneagram 8 brain sometimes blows right past. 😂 She has become one of my favorite people to bounce ideas off of because she brings a softness and perspective that balances me in the best way. She softens some of my sharper edges, and I am genuinely thankful to have her voice in my corner. 🩷

All of this while raising two medically complex twin toddlers, working full time, managing trach life, and driving nearly an hour to show up for other medical moms.

Natalia started as a medical mom who told me, “Maybe one day I’ll be able to help.”

And before I knew it, she became part of the Village. 🩷

Please join me in showing Natalia some love and thanking her for every mile driven, every event helped, every picture taken, every idea talked through, and every little piece of herself she pours into this community.

We are so incredibly thankful for you, Natalia. 🩷

🩷 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: HEATHER 🩷

I’m honestly not entirely sure how this happened. 😂

Heather Rae Watkins Hudson started as a medical mom that the village supported.

And then somewhere along the way, this warm, persistent, bubbly, energetic, beautifully chaotic ADHD woman, who is quite literally my personality twin, started showing up in my DMs asking how she could help.

And she just… never stopped. 😂🩷

If you know me, you know accepting help is NOT exactly one of my strengths. But Heather is also not particularly easy to tell no.

Not because she’s pushy, but because she has this way of making you feel like you’ve known her forever. Like she already gets you, already cares, and has pretty much decided, “Okay, we’re friends now and I’m helping.” 😂

Before I knew it, the mom I had originally set out to support had quietly become one of the women supporting me and helping carry the Village.

And help she DOES.

Heather has thoughtfully put together several of our care packages, as well as the gift bags for our most recent Coffee & Connection. And if you receive a Village care package in the future, just know that it was carefully and thoughtfully curated by Heather. 🩷

She has driven HOURS for companionship visits.

She has connected medical moms to help facilitate supply exchanges.

She serves as a Big Sister in our Village Sisters Program, pouring into another medical mom and offering the kind of friendship and understanding that only another mom who has lived this life can give.

And unlike me, who would happily run this entire Village from behind the curtain and never show my face, Heather will actually get in front of the camera and make the videos. 😂👏

But what makes all of this even more incredible is that Heather does it while navigating medical motherhood herself. She is raising her own medically complex daughter, juggling what feels like nonstop appointments and everything else that comes with this life, and STILL looks around and asks:

“Who else can I help?”

That is the Medical Mom Village.

It isn’t about having an easy life and helping someone who doesn’t.

It’s moms who are carrying their own heavy load reaching over and grabbing part of another mom’s anyway.

Heather came into this Village needing support, and somehow turned around and became one of the women helping me give it right back.

And THAT is pretty freaking special. 🥹🩷

Heather, I am so incredibly blessed and lucky to know you. Thank you for being persistent enough to get past my stubborn refusal to accept help. 😂 Thank you for the hours you give, the miles you drive, the care you put into every package, and the heart you pour into our moms.

Most of all, thank you for being living proof of exactly what I hoped this Village could become.

Medical moms taking care of medical moms. 🩷

Everybody help me give Heather some VERY well deserved love. 🫶🩷

This is a little outside of what I normally share on the Village page, but sometimes supporting our community means looking beyond our usual scope. 🩷

This is Josh. He’s 22, a student, and the owner of Prime Shine Detailing .

He recently lost his dad and has since taken on helping support his mom and little sister while continuing school and building his detailing business.

And y’all… this is exactly the kind of thing I want to see our community show up for.

Sometimes helping someone doesn’t require starting a fundraiser or making a donation. Sometimes it’s as simple as choosing where you spend money you were already going to spend.

And bonus: HE’S MOBILE. 🙌 He comes to you! So if your car desperately needs some love, maybe consider giving this young man your business. 🩷

A share costs nothing, either. Let’s help get his name out there.
