Real stories. Real hope, on this unexpected journey.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Every special needs mom has a story.
We had a dream of what we thought our lives would be, and then it all changed.
For some of us, it was sudden; for others, it was over a long period.
We’ve all had to learn to orient ourselves to a new story.
Your story may not be one you would have written.
God’s hope and steadfast love is present with us, and He writes the best stories.
You are meant to thrive in this unexpected journey.
