You Are Not Alone

A while back I had the opportunity to talk with a good friend of mine about what life is like raising children with special needs and how living in a small town makes it harder  to find the resources available. Most of the time parents are traveling back and forth to get the best care for their children. I am no stranger when it comes to traveling to get the best care and I am sure we are not the only ones out their that feel this way.  15 minutes specialist appointment, but an hour long car ride to get to the appointment can be overwhelming and financially irritating at times. Living in a smaller town with less resources can make a family feel like they are being flipped flopped back in forth through their local health care system and therapies and referred out to bigger hospitals. Holding a job can also be a big time struggle for families raising children with unique needs as well.  The list keeps going on and on. Let me introduce you to my good friend Brenda Calderon she has a son who is Autistic.  a wonderful family but the struggle is real and its always good to have mom friends who understand you.
