The Unique Journey of Raising a Child with Special Needs!
Hello, SENDelight family! It’s me VJ, the heart behind SENDelight Gifts. Today, I want to share a bit of my personal story, which I hope will resonate with many of you.
Before my son was born, amidst the labour pains, a thought struck me profoundly: “My son is coming with something special.” This wasn’t merely a fleeting idea; it felt deeply significant, even though the epidural and the intensity of the moment blurred everything else.
Winning National Award:
When he was born, he had a noticeable birthmark on his neck, and initially, I thought that was the “special” aspect. However, as he grew, it became clear that his special needs were what that voice in my head had been hinting at. This journey hasn’t just been about challenges; it’s brought immense growth and unexpected rewards. My son didn’t just bring special needs into my life; he brought a whole new perspective that led me to win a national award and start helping others on similar journeys.
Why I found SENDelight Gifts?
I’ve come to realise that it wasn’t his birthmark or his needs that were the “special” things—the true gift was him. He’s the reason I founded SENDelight Gifts and why I continue to strive for a world that recognises the brilliance in our special children.
This path isn’t always straightforward. There are days when the world doesn’t seem to understand the strength it takes to advocate for our children’s recognition and rights. But here at SENDelight Gifts, we’re more than just a shop; we’re a community. We share our struggles, our triumphs, and everything in between.
