  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 movement that is transforming my nation. I am now getting ready to do a digital campaign to promote the launch of two new resources. The position will help to provide the social media support needed. It will strengthen our voice of advocacy and help with income generation.
