After growing up in the Netherlands, Kadisha moved to Los Angeles where she earned her nursing degree in 1987. As an R.N., she discovered her passion for working with terminally ill patients as a founding member of the AIDS/HIV unit at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. In 1994, she relocated with her husband, Joe Davidson, to Houston, Texas, where she pursued her desire to bring aid and comfort to patients in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Luke’s Hospital in the Texas Medical Center. Together, Kadisha and Joe are raising four children: Noah, Alexa, Isaac, and Seth. The loss of their cousin, Chance, affected all of them deeply and cemented Kadisha’s passion to comfort those in need. Kadisha feels honored to serve as a Board member of the Chance for Hope Foundation. She has witnessed that keeping families connected and having access to needed services can create unimaginable support to pediatric cancer families. Her strong commitment to family, coupled with her life experiences as a nurse, drive her desire to help the Foundation make a difference.

Dr. Natalie Aloia is a board certified Pediatrician in Houston, TX. She is a graduate of The UCLA-Geffen School of Medicine and received her pediatric training at Duke University Medical Center. She was in private practice in North Carolina for four years before returning to her home state of Texas with her husband, Tom, and 2 children, Matteo and Allie. In Houston, her pediatric practice for the last 10 years has focused largely on an underserved, Spanish-speaking population. Over this time, Natalie’s strong commitment to help others has continued to grow and extend beyond her clinical practice. As a member of The Junior League of Houston, she served the Houston community-at-large through numerous volunteer positions. Her favorite League placement was as a Counselor at Camp Hope, a summer program for children with HIV. It was here that she first experienced sick children as “kids” rather than “patients” and discovered how courageous children with debilitating diseases truly are. The opportunity to be a part of helping these children face their fears at camp and overcome obstacles created by their disease was inspirational. It gave her a new outlook on her practice and the families she serves. Although she has professionally treated many pediatric oncology patients, the journey that was Chance’s battle with cancer touched her most deeply. In particular, she learned of the countless non-medical needs that families facing pediatric cancer struggle to address. In memory of Chance’s courageous fight, she has committed to serve the Chance For Hope Foundation as an inaugural Board member. She wholeheartedly believes that, by addressing these unmet needs, the Foundation can significantly improve the experience of families battling these devastating diseases.
