Brittney

FROM CALIFORNIA

I take care of my daughter Izabella. She was born with severe special needs including Spina bifida and microcephaly. She also has seizures and is cordially blind. She is the light of our family's life and is such an amazing person. I was told she was going to be still born. And she wasn't. She has fought so much and is a true fighter. I had to quit work due to taking care of her full time but I wouldn't change it for the world. She has taught me so much. She has been through so much including multiple surgeries and one to get a g tube which is how I feed her. She is sassy and never gives up and always puts on a brace face no matter what we have been faced with.
