From people who came through it

  • โ€œNearly 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.โ€

  • โ€œI 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.โ€

  • โ€œI was in the same place this time last year. I remember planning for when we are gone like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.โ€

    Taylor from Houston W ยท been through parenting a child with a disability
  • โ€œIn 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.โ€
