Your support gives resilient families and kids like Sarah’s a chance to breathe, to believe and to hope.
People often say they can’t imagine what it’s like to have a child with medical needs. I think they mean that they can’t imagine how to survive it.
My name is Sarah, and I consider myself many things, including an interior designer, entrepreneur, and mother. In 2018, after an emergency fetal surgery, I added medical parent to that list as I welcomed my baby daughter Blake into the world. Blake was born with spina bifida. Because of her diagnosis, Blake requires a wheelchair and has a VP shunt that requires daily medical monitoring.
While there have been many challenges along the way, I had no choice but to learn how to support my daughter, which meant giving up on some of my passions.
Blake is now a charmer and she’s full of sass. She loves to colour, play with dolls, and dance. Even though her medical condition makes her different from most kids, what makes her the same are her desires: to play, to belong, and to be included.
Inclusivity is what distinguishes Hope’s Home. When I send Blake to daycare, I can breathe a little easier because I know she’s in the care of professionals who ensure her needs are being met.
Hope’s Home gives our family a chance to thrive. It gives me the capacity to care for myself and to be a better mama to Blake and her brother Rowan. Above all, it reminds me that our family doesn’t have to do it all alone.
Become a Friend of Hope by signing up as a monthly donor, supporting kids like Blake all year.
