It all began in the hallways of a major San Antonio hospital, where two passionate Registered Nurse Lactation Consultants, Ashley and Veronica, crossed paths. United by a shared vision, they identified a glaring gap in healthcare: the families they were treating needed more than just breastfeeding support; they needed a holistic support system.
Fueled by a sense of responsibility and a dash of audacity, the duo took their mission to the streets. Initially, their focus was on breastfeeding support, offering free home visits to struggling mothers. But what they discovered inside those homes was eye-opening and heart-wrenching.
The needs of the community were far greater than they had imagined. Parents were not only grappling with breastfeeding challenges but also lacked access to basic parenting education, vital material assistance, and car seat safety guidance.
The realization was profound: they could do more, much more. And so, Latched Support was born. What started as a grassroots effort to help families in need has grown into a powerful force for change, impacting the lives of over 2,500 mothers annually.
