When Brian and Kara Hodges learned that their daughter, Malia, had Alpha‑1, their lives changed immediately. What began as a search for medical answers quickly became a journey defined by determination, community support, and a commitment to securing the best future for their daughter. From their home in League City, Texas, they entered an unfamiliar world of genetic testing, new relationships, and a growing network of families and clinicians who would become essential to their support system.
Today, they are not only parents managing a rare condition, but also active advocates for other families facing the same challenges.
