Our Story

WWK Logo (Final)

Our son Kaydan, was born with Down syndrome on January 27, 2013.  Little did we know or were we ready for the journey on which that diagnosis would take us.  Since Kaydan’s birth, my growing burden and passion has been to reach ALL special needs families.  Knowing firsthand the struggles of having a child with special needs, Kaydan was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in 2020 as well.  My first effort is chronicling the journey of faith, struggle, and hope, in my first book, which we expect to be published in 2024.  Walking with Kaydan explores in explicit and honest detail the inner struggles, challenges, and victories that have enveloped our family as we entered and live in the world of special needs.

My ultimate vision and goal is to Equip, Educate, and Empower families and marriages within the Special Needs community, churches for effective ministry, and caregivers and professionals in order to provide better support and services.  As more and more families are impacted by special needs diagnoses, many families and marriages are challenged to adjust to the realities of diagnoses.  Families need tools to cope and navigate the special needs world (Equipping); Understanding at an emotional and relational level (Education); and Empowerment to encourage them towards thriving not merely surviving.  Furthermore, churches need equipped, educated and empowered as well, in order to provide effective and meaningful ministry to families that are often marginalized and sometimes even forgotten.  Lastly, helping professionals and caregivers need greater awareness and understanding to provide the care and services that special needs families need and deserve.
