Community Living board member Laura DeVries is working on a book project and is inviting parents and caregivers to share their stories.
Please see her post for more details and reach out to Laura directly if you’re interested. 💛
My book began as a mother’s love for her son, and it has grown into something much bigger and I'm looking for additional families to share their stories to help inspire others.
That is what I am looking for.
I am inviting parents and caregivers who have lived this journey to share their real stories. Not polished. Not perfect. Honest. The moments when love had to be louder. The advocacy. The frustration. The resilience. The hope that kept you moving forward.
There is no cost to participate. This is not about profit. It is about sharing, learning, and supporting other parents walking this road. You may be recognized by your real name or participate completely anonymously. If selected, we will schedule a follow-up interview to go deeper.
If you have walked this path and feel called to share your story, I would love to hear from you. Please email me at commcoreoutreach@gmail.com or call me directly at (314) 308-0799.
Your story matters. Not because it is perfect, but because it is real. And somewhere, another parent needs to know they are not alone.
