Well I'm now even more a of a fan :) I have a massive respect for people that choose to do this work - it's hard and often goes without not only financial gain but also credit or thanks.

Since finding out we were part of this community the support we have received from other parents, teachers and therapists has been overwhelming not to mention we have the most awesome paed - who goes above and beyond and was the first stranger to make a connection with our little girl.

One of the main incentives for my joining steem was to help supplement our income with my writing even if only a small way, the costs of raising a child with a disability is insane and we have two so it's doubled!

I never understood why some of the most important people in our communities are so undervalued - nurses, special needs teachers, charity workers, carers, respite workers are all massively undervalued and underappreciated.

I wish there was a way to show the greater world the amazing services you provide families like ours, without people like you people like us would be facing this epic challenge alone - so thanks for your support and the support you provide to all your clients :)
