Allison Bones

​​​Allison (D’Ambrosio) Bones is the President and CEO of T.E.A.M. 4 Travis (Together Ending Asplenia Mortality). Having experienced multiple losses in a 6-year period, including her premature infant twins, her father and her husband, she could have crumbled when Travis died too. Instead, she decided to attack the disease that claimed Travis. She focused on creating a foundation that would help prevent other families from losing a child to a disease no one knew existed. Allison earned a Bachelor’s of Business Administration from Baylor University. During a 13-year career at GE Capital, Allison held various roles, including Account Manager for a portfolio of Recreational Vehicle dealerships, each with a commercial credit line in excess of $10 million. Educational and professional experience combined with volunteer duties at Special Olympics, Salvation Army and the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs inspired Allison to take on the challenge of founding a nonprofit. At T.E.A.M. 4 Travis, she has marketed the organization to her local community and been a champion for Rare Disease Advocacy. Her 2020 achievements include speaking at My City Med’s The Rare Fair, being nominated to Rare Disease Legislative Advocates newly formed Advisory Committee and earning the organization special recognition from Congresswoman Debbie Lesko for advocacy and awareness efforts. When not busy with T.E.A.M. 4 Travis, Allison enjoys travel, watching college football (especially her beloved Baylor Bears and Travis’ Texas Longhorns) and spending time with friends.

Maiye Waller

My name is Maiye Waller, I am 27 years old and I am a survivor of infant loss. On 9/20/2017, I gave birth to my son Mace A. Williamson. I lost him due to a birth injury caused from a vacuum assisted delivery. From that day I promised to dedicate my life to him because his was taken. From that day I fought for peace and closure and the truth for four long years. In his honor, this year, I created the nonprofit organization called The Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation. The mission of the Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation is to give a voice to women and babies in my community and others by making sure they receive the most adequate maternal care and support during and after pregnancy. I will provide doulas to new qualifying mothers free of charge as a way of extending a strong support for them during and after pregnancy and/or perinatal loss. In time, I will fund a community support center that promotes mental health, provide any kind of support needed for women and families who have dealt with fetal death or babies in the NICU for extended stays I hope to encourage moms and families to share their stories of loss and to prevent another first-time mom and her newborn baby from suffering the way I and my Mace ultimately had to. My name is Maiye Waller and I am the Founder of The Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation and “We Are The Voice For Mothers and Babies”.
