Lets hear it for the kids – ALL of them
OK if you read my blogs you’ll know that I’m a carer. For me it’s not a tough deal, stressful at times, but infinitely doable.
Today though I want to take my hat off to one lady in my life, another student. She buddied me though my last Open University module, shared notes and insights with me along the way. She was brave enough to be honest about how difficult it can be to juggle work, family and caring but did it in a way that made me laugh and wonder at how she got through her day AND passed her assignments. She shares her experiences as a carer by passing on her successes and solutions to problems that other carers can benefit from. She has a wicked sense of humour and compassion to match.
She posted this on her Facebook today and I thought I would share it.
Kids with special needs aren’t weird or odd. They only want what everyone wants…to be accepted . Can I make a request? Is anyone willing to post this. This is an honour of all children that God made in a unique way. Let’s see who has a strong heart ♥ ♥

Jaqueline, the consortium of business enterprises I work for also owns and manages a charitable foundation responsible for funding local initiatives and programs for families with children of special needs. Throughout the year, I have so many interactions with many families and organizations that work to help the families. I am always struck by the enormous energy these caregivers have in caring for these children. “They only want what everyone wants… to be accepted.” So very true.
Happy Christmas to all.
