Kelli Espiritu - Founder
Kelli Espiritu - Founder
Kelli is a wife and mother to four boys. Her son Max was stillborn at 38 weeks on September 27, 2010. After she lost Max her and her husband were faced with so many scary decisions, they didn't know how to answer all of the questions coming at them. They were in a difficult spot financially and as a result had the added stress of trying to find a way to pay for Max's final expenses. Six months after saying goodbye to their son, Kelli knew she had to create something to help other families through the worst part of their lives, so she founded Halos with her husband Barry.
