We talk all the time about our disabled children in this space... But what about their non-disabled siblings?
In today's episode of The Rare Life, we're going to hear from them directly: about the good, the hard, the unexpected, and about just how much they love their disabled brothers and sisters. We heard from nearly thirty siblings, from toddlers to teens (and even a few adults!)
Megan Schneider, a grown-up with a disabled sibling, also joins me to share her own experience and respond to these tender thoughts from some of the other kiddos in our lives.
This episode is so raw, so heart-wrenching, and so sweet. You can’t miss it.
Also, it's the last day of our Family and Friends fundraiser! Don’t forget to promote your own fundraisers one more time (or start one just for today and see how much you can raise!
