MAY 12TH IS “NATIONAL SAPPHIRE SEGULAH DAY!”-- THE DAY WE CELEBRATE AND HONOR SINGLE PARENTS CARING FOR DISABLED AND SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN -- the day we say "Thank You" for the sacrifices that they make everyday in caring for their Precious Peculiar Treasures. The challenges of daily living can take a toll on parents caring for a child(ren) with special needs or disabilities. Some children require 24-hour care (regardless of their age). Many parents are fighting for educational and social services; dealing with insurance companies, medical professionals; hospitalizations; a lack of resources; and inadequate support or help, etc...., all while possibly caring for other children, and having to work outside the home--which greatly affect a parent’s ability to care for their child, and leaves little, if any, time for personal self-care.
