My story:I am the Mother of 2 young children with developmental disabilities. My 3 year old daughter has developmental delays due to an unknown genetic condition and my 2 year old daughter has Down syndrome. Why I advocate:My girls are sweet and wonderful and I want them to have the same opportunities as normally developing children. LifeMyWay means:The LifeMyWay initiative is a wonderful way for people who may seem different to show others that they have the same hopes and dreams as anyone else. My photos: |
