  1. We have a special needs son then we came up with an invention and we are trying to get the invention off the ground and wanted to share our story and if you would be willing to chat with us, I would love to share more to see if you guys would be a great fit to be able to share our story and get her name out there? Not sure if you guys do that kind of thing.

    1. Hello Cheri, Thank you for your comment. We don’t advertise or promote other products. However, I think it’s wonderful that you came up with this invention. May the Lord bless you and your family.

  2. Wonderful interview! So encouraging. I will let other moms with special needs know about it and our other great resources for special needs children through Moms in Prayer.
