Two Moms and Some Labels
by Brittany Cunningham and Nicole Hill
Two Moms and Some Labels is a platform created for families caring for a child with a disability to come together in a shared space to commune, network, and gain ideas on how to persevere through challenging times. Our name was formed from all the labels that we as parents of disabled children have to go through or have been given after various assessments and testing done on our children. As parents and caregivers of our disabled children, we have to juggle so many things. These include mom, wife, cook, therapist, caregiver, daughter, and so many more. But we are pushing through those labels!
