“My daughter is a unique wonderful child despite the chromosome abnormality will brighten up your day. She has a very giving heart and I raise her like any other child. She is smart, talented, sassy, caring, kind, loved, and so supportive of those around her and her life. And as I am a special needs parent of a special needs child it is a challenge to teach and raise a child, however I wouldn’t want my life any other way.” – Shaleigh Hawkins
