September 26 Project Sep 27, 2021

Show notes

One year ago my dear friend, Feda and her son, Mu who was severely autistic, died in a house fire. Feda made it out of the house, but her son was still inside. She went back in and sadly neither of them survived. Feda died how she lived, dedicated to her children and full of love. On the one year anniversary we ask that you honor their memory by testing your smoke alarms, creating an evacuation route, and taking extra steps if your child or family member has special needs.
