Discover the resilience of families navigating the complex journey of raising children with special needs. Join us as we welcome the remarkable Stacy Georges, whose own path led her to establish Special Needs Respite. She sheds light on the lifeline of respite care, a service that breathes hope into the lives of affected families by offering relief funded by the generosity of private donors. In this heartfelt exchange, Stacy details the simplicity of the application process and the scholarships that ease the burdens of care, while Tanja reflects on the wider impact these gestures of support have within our communities.
The conversation sways through the cycles of rejection and the relentless quest for fitting educational support, culminating in a candid discussion about the challenges that can push a family to its limits. From confronting the despair of a suicidal child to the exhaustion that comes with sleep deprivation, we navigate the rough seas that many such families sail each day.
