An Angel At My Door: A Mother'S Fight For Her Daughter To Live To Her Potential

Do we value quality of life for people with disability?Do we see the rich gifts that people with disability offer us individually and as a society?To be blunt - no, we don't, and it's time for change.Joanne Lynam is a devoted mother to three adult children. Her youngest child, Emma, was born with disabilities that could have seen her "swept under the carpet" and largely dismissed by society.However, Joanne saw Emma's potential and began to fight the myopic discrimination that overlooked Emma and other people with disabilities.The incredible result? Emma is now a young woman who lives to her potential. She runs her own business, lives in her own home (a home she is paying for herself), and is happy and fulfilled. Her visibility - and her inclusion in society - has positively affected so many lives.If you're a parent or carer, Joanne's powerful, inspiring personal story will encourage you to think outside of the box and to fight for inclusion and equality. All lives are valuable and are gifts to the world - if only we take the time to unwrap them.
