From people who came through it
“Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was respite once a month. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.”
junewest1999 · been through parenting a child with a disability“I was in the same place nearly four years ago. A seizure last night. That was my life. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart.”
tahlia_tide16 · been through parenting a child with a disability“In 2023, that was me. Respite once a month. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.”
edwinnorth1979 · been through parenting a child with a disability“To whoever needs this: This time last year I was exactly where you are. A wheelchair van we can not afford. That was my life. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.”
