January 2017: Nominated as "Person to Watch in 2017" for Civic Activism
I had the honor of being nominated as one of fifteen people to watch in 2017, in the Des Moines Register. I was nominated for Civic Activism. The Series focuses on Iowans who "are expected to make a difference in their fields of endeavor in 2017" and are nominated by the readers of the Des Moines register.
The Register did a great job sharing Abram's journey and came along with us to his therapy appointments so they could get a glance at what he has to go through in order to gain some sense of normalcy in his daily living skills.
There is a great video at the top of the article (as seen below) along with a well-written piece that shares Abram's journey and our struggle as a family to get him help.
