The Kemmerer family’s Alpha-1 journey began in 2017, when their daughter Quinn was diagnosed as a ZZ Alpha just weeks after birth, following liver complications. Through the Alpha-1 Foundation, they attended the A1F National Conference in 2018, where they connected with others in the community and became involved in A1F Support Groups.
Today, Quinn’s mother, Nora, serves as a co-leader of the Nebraska Big Red Alphas Support Group and played a key role in developing the virtual Parents and Kids (PAK) support group. She shares that being part of the Alpha-1 community has provided her with knowledge, confidence, and hope for Quinn’s future.
