"My eldest daughter is self-sufficient at 10 years old. She gets herself breakfast and lunch, manages her own schedule, and finds ways to fill her time... Her independence has come about because of my family's unusual circumstances."
"My husband's help is crucial as we navigate care for our youngest, who has a rare disease. Our workload intensifies whenever my youngest is not in school... This often leaves little time for my eldest daughter."
"Instead, my eldest plays a vital role in our household. She relays messages, fetches supplies, helps with her sister's feeding tube, and operates our van's wheelchair ramp... this has been one of the big advantages in a tough situation."
