Our Mission
We mainly want to advocate for/bring awareness to Child Abuse (specifically shaken baby) by sharing our story. With that being said, we will also work with foster families and families that have children with special needs. Our hope is to help connect families in need with the appropriate resources, which we were fortunate to learn about and develop relationships on our journey. There is no “how to” manual for what we experienced, but we’d like to share our resources to help others
