You are amazing, Congratulations
I was truly blessed by your message Ryan. My husband and I have an adult daughter, with Downs Syndrome and we’ve done pretty much everything for her, her whole life, and yet the world has always called what she has as a disability, but God shows us each and every day that she is able. She is a mighty prayer warrior, loves and cares for others and above all else prays with her friends (who do not know the Lord. She is an inspiration from the Lord.
Blessings,
Jackie Maloney
As one of your former teachers, Ryan, I am so elated to see you doing this work! I think you will inspire many! I still talk about you to my students. I tell them about your perseverance and positivity, and how you never let any obstacle hold you back! I’m so excited to show them this video. I love how you continue to give 100% of yourself in all you do!
