OUR STORY - JADEN'S JOURNEY
All the medical professionals spent most of the time preparing me for what Jaden wouldn't be able to accomplish. Instead of the possibilities of what he could accomplish.
Jaden spent the next first four months of his life in the hospital. We never gave up hope for Jaden. During this critical time, I was in endanger of losing my employment. I could see myself not being by his side the first four months of his life.
In learning of the challenges, stereotypes that face someone diagnosed with autism. We knew that Jaden’s opportunities would be limited. This was the motivation to start the Jaden’s Journey Foundation, to give hope to families of and family members diagnosed with autism.
