A Little About Us

Our passion is raising awareness of special needs families and helping parents of children with special needs on their journey. From one mom, dad, & family in the trenches to another.

We hope you’ll find this page to be one of encouragement & empathy, as raising children with special needs can be lonely, tiring, remarkable, discouraging, hilarious, depressing, and wonderfully uniting in a single day (oh, and don’t forget Exhausting!).

We are not alone, and in each of our unique journeys with these wonderful souls, may you find something here to smile about, empathize with, and help share the load as we face our challenges one day at a time. More about our story.
