Are you a parent or caregiver to a child or adult with special needs?
Do you struggle to find hope in the frustration of daily caregiving challenges?
Sometimes, feeling alone, as if no one understands the trials you face?
Wondering how to cope with the worries and fears?
 
Meet Benjamin - non-verbal, medically complex, cancer survivor, with autism. He loves Disney movies, music, swimming, riding in the car, and flapping toys. 
 
When a loved one cannot utter speech sounds to communicate, they are speechless but not silent. Our role as caregivers is to give voice to the voiceless.
 
Meet his mom, Kathleen, who understands the challenges of caring for a child with diverse abilities who needs extra support and may have an uncertain future. She shares her joys, sorrows, and frustrations of caring for a person with a disability.
 
Kathleen discusses her experiences with diagnosis, hospitals, professionals, behaviours, and joys with vulnerability and humour.  
 
Join her as she leans into her faith to find strength and hope to withstand the tumultuous journey of the special needs world. Using a butterfly analogy, she reveals how she moved from caterpillar to butterfly, discovering a hope only her faith could sustain. 
 
This is the story of her son and her life with him. The caregiving journey. The evolution of grief. The promise of hope.
