Born at just 27 weeks, baby Luiz entered the world fighting -and he has continued to inspire everyone around him ever since. Alongside the challenges of prematurity, Luiz was diagnosed with Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevus (GCMN), a rare condition affecting roughly one in every 500,000 births. In this heartfelt blog, Luiz’s mother, Milena Servian, shares the emotional early days of uncertainty, courage, and overwhelming love.

When Jenna’s daughter, Dani, was born with a dark patch on her leg, fear and uncertainty took over- until a late-night hashtag search connected her with another mom, Kristin. Through Nevus Outreach’s online community, Jenna found not just information but hope, friendship, and strength. Today, Dani is thriving, and their families continue to share their journey-proof that one online connection can spark lifelong support and empowerment.
