Feature Story: Bruce, 55 year-old father of a special needs child:

I won a year-long custody battle of my autistic 8 year-old son, which left

me financially drained and emotionally beaten. I found myself living in a

shelter with my son, excited to be safe as a family, but stressed over what

to do now. Thanks to the shelters partnership with NWFS, I had the chance to participate in a workshop series.

The NWFS facilitator, CarrieAnn, brought a lot of knowledge that I lacked

regarding proper parenting methods. She provided many helpful things

that made me feel energized and excited to put practices into action.

As the classes continued I found myself moving away from my previous,

ineffective methods such as doing things out of habit or instinct. Now, I

stop to think how this will affect my son and his unique needs. Our relationship and connection is

growing stronger by the day. Thank you NWFS! Join us in supporting this missionit is vital.

With Appreciation,
