  When my son Nathan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, he was only nine months old. The news was devastating to my family, and I felt like my life was over. Feeling lost, out of my depth, and alone, I struggled for years seeking answers. This search has led me to become one of the leading voices of advocacy for children with disabilities and their families in my country. Today, what began as a 'tragedy' has become a transforming my nation of Jamaica. Over this time, I have become present to the knowledge that millions of children with disabilities worldwide whose parents need the information and support that we provide.
