Jen strives to bring a message of hope to families who are gifted with a special-needs child. When she and her husband, Lucas, received the diagnosis of Trisomy 21 for their daughter Charlie, they discovered a new calling to embrace the role as the parents chosen for Charlie. With this calling, Jen brings a message to share with parents and caretakers on a similar journey. She shares personal experiences along with biblical truth to strengthen readers and move them to a place of victory and strength. Every parent, whether they are caring for a special-needs or typical child, has the opportunity to rise up and parent with purpose and passion.
