A Story of Love, Courage, and Family

All Will has ever known is a mother living with Young-Onset Parkinson’s. From the start, his parents created a home where illness never defined the atmosphere. Instead, they chose a foundation built on love, structure, culture, emotional intelligence, and consistent values.

Their philosophy:
Adversity may shape your journey, but character defines it.

Despite the ups and downs, life continues with intention, stability, and hope. This belief powers The Bayou Bounce™: A Story of Love, Courage & Family.

Children Need Books That Help Them Understand What’s Happening at Home

Most children’s books don’t talk about neurological illness. Families dealing with Parkinson’s and similar conditions rarely see themselves in stories.

Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child shows that when kids don’t understand a parent’s health issue, they often create their own explanations — usually self-blame or fear. This makes clear, compassionate storytelling essential.

Your gift helps us send this message to children who need it most.
