| Facilitator, Families Affected
by Fatal Drownings,
Phoenix Arizona
Hi, my name is Asena Nicolosi and I am the mother of my beautiful
Binky baby, Mya. Mya continues to be the center of my world and
my true inspiration. I lost Mya on February 20, 2001 only four days
after her 2nd Birthday to drowning in her Grandfather's pool. I
was attending nursing school at the time and have since graduated
with my degree in Nursing and now working as an RN in a local Phoenix
hospital in the Cardiac unit or Telemetry.
When I am not working, I am volunteering, and trying to educate
families on how quickly drownings can happen to loving and competent
parents. We have started Phoenix's first drowning support group
for families affected by child drowning. I also volunteer with
the Phoenix Fire department's Water Safety Task Force, Water Watchers,
and also a member of the Drowning Coalition of Central Arizona.
Volunteering for MISS and these other wonderful organizations helps
me keep my daughter's memory alive. I am honored to give back to
an organization that has given me so much.

Proud Mimi of Mya
