I was born with Alpha-mannosidosis, a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-mannosidase. This condition causes certain complex sugars to build up within the body's cells and can affect many parts of the body.

At a young age, I received a life-saving bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. That incredible gift gave me the opportunity to live a fuller and healthier life. Throughout my journey, my family and I experienced an overwhelming amount of love, support, and generosity from our community when we needed it most.

Because of that kindness, I founded Presley’s Promise as a way to give back. Through creativity, compassion, and service, I strive to help others and make a positive impact in the lives of our unhoused friends in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Presley’s Promise is my way of sharing the same hope, love, and support that was given to me and my family. It is a reflection of my gratitude and a way to give back to the community that gave us so much during some of our most difficult times. Through Presley’s Promise, I hope to continue creating with purpose and giving with heart.
