Advertising & PR
Contact me at: prayingforparker@gmail.com I’d love to hear from you!
Our readers are an ever growing, loyal group of parents who come here to find information, inspiration, and a peek into the life of a medically fragile child with special needs.
I seek to connect with my readers through shared experiences, proving that a kid with special needs is first and foremost a kid.
Our readers have both children with special needs as well as typical children. Parker and I have the honor of being a source of hope for parents of children receiving a new diagnosis within the spectrum of special needs as well as pulmonary hypertension and colorectal malformations.
That being said, companies often over look those blogging within the niche of special needs. Even with the one trillion dollars worth of spending it represents.
It’s time to get the word out about the power of advertising directly to the parents of children of special needs.
It’s also time for companies to recognize the power of advocacy you weld as you stand beside the special needs community and we champion each other. Think of the bridges that could be built. When a parent can look at a child with Down syndrome loving the exact same thing as their child loves, the distance between typical and different isn’t quite as wide.

Dear Tammy,
Vicki Forman’s This Lovely Life: A Memoir of Premature Motherhood lands amidst debates over the state of the healthcare system and of women’s rights within that system. The book chronicles Vicki’s struggle through that system, from her choices denied to the insensitivity of doctors. At twenty-three weeks pregnant, Vicki gave birth to one-pound twins, Evan and Ellie. She begged that they not be resuscitated, but was denied by California state law. Four days later, Ellie passed. Evan, however, survived infancy, but not without disabilities: he was blind, could not speak, and relied on a feeding tube to swallow. Vicki’s subsequent years with Evan are filled with guilt, anger, imbalance, and mostly, a mother’s ability to love her children and out of that love, to develop uncanny strength.
For you reading this, you are doing so because you have experienced something that makes this powerful book all too relatable. Your blog discusses your own similar experiences, with premature birth, raising disabled children, or your struggles with difficult choices, and how you cope. I’d like to offer you the chance to read Vicki’s story and discuss on your sites the book that Kirkus Reviews calls, “A searing tale of heartache and impressive depth of character.”
