Bio
I'm a parent of a disabled child and everything that comes along with that. She receives SSI and we're on SNAP. That's right, we rely on government assistance, but we are both looking to use our talents and abilities to be great.

Entry #3: Butterfingers
The above picture is a great way to start. My child proudly holding up what would be a simple drawing for the average nine year old. "Look mommy! I made a phone!" She is totally unaware of the large pen mark on her face. Most nine year olds could efficiently hold a pen to a piece of paper and probably would have done that multiple times with many colors, creating a rainbow of delight. But we are talking about a child with a brain injury which affects her ability to use her hands.

Entry #1: So You Know Our Story "You want me to SHARE our story! Us! This crazy, dysfunctional life?"
