The kids and I had the opportunity to go up and speak at the State Capital. What a great experience for us. The kids did an amazing job telling their story and telling how it really is. We were able to let people know how hard it is.
The Deseret News was there and they did an awesome article on our family, and they sent out a photographer to our house to capture us taking care of Jaren.

I don't know if I will make any difference now but hopefully in the future it will help others.
I went to the grocery store yesterday to get a printed copy of the paper and we were on the very front page in the headlines. It said to read the article on B1 so I went to it and a huge picture of Jaren and the girls. There were a few more in the article as you read on. The kids were very excited.
Thank you Deseret News for getting the word out and for you wonderful story!
Way to go! You are amazing!!!!!! Way to do what you can with what you have...may you be blessed for it, as I am sure you are blessing the lives of others who struggle with this and other diseases by sharing! Love you!
