Please read about what this cute little boy has gone through in his very short life. If this doesn’t give us perspective, I don’t know what will.
Thank You Students!
“First I want to send my condolences. I am truly sorry. I can only imagine. I wanted to send a huge thank you! This helps so much and we are very grateful! Having to worry about bills during this difficult time is added stress that I wish no parent has to deal with, so any kind of help is a blessing!
Spreading the Word
Last week, I traveled to Washington, DC last week for our “Alliance Action Days”. We brought together over 200 family advocates from across the country.
