There is such joy in giving!♥️Meet the Filippazzo family, whose hearts are greater, stronger, & more admirable than any I have ever known or met- & they belong to a special, tiny community whose hearts are at risk.❤️💚💙
On this #givingtuesday please join me in learning more & supporting this very, very special family & the Willams Syndrome community. Sweet Anthony, his parents Camille + Steve, & his sister Rose are absolutely extraordinary.💝
Williams Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects ~30,000, for which there is no cure (yet) & no medication to slow the cardiac & vascular effects nor the anesthesia risk.
✝️Those with WS have a genetic predisposition toward kindness. What a blessing is that?! I can personally attest to the unmatched joy & huge hearts of these angels & I know they are very, very special to God - please join me in showing kindness back, in the way of support & advocacy.
💙Angels like Anthony need your help PLEASE: awareness + support for research. Currently helmed by the remarkable Dr Mark Levin, the research is promising but we need donations. The Filippazzo family has worked tirelessly for this - PLEASE FOLLOW & DONATE HERE: @afresearchgrant@williamssyndrome / ❤️💚💙

I never thought I would be here. 🖤
I was supposed to be a lawyer and a mom.
That was it.
But when the system doesn't have answers for your child you become the person who finds them.
That's how I went from the courtroom to the fundraising stage.
From a mother who didn't know what Williams Syndrome was to a mother who has raised
over $1 million to fight it.
This is Williams Syndrome Awareness Month and I am opening up like never before.
Follow this journey.
And if you have a WS story -- message me.
Let's bring awareness to Williams Syndrome together. 🖤

Thanks so much to @afresearchgrant and @thebookmarkshoppe (a wonderful book shop I only just discovered) for hosting an wonderful signing event and party in support of my debut novel, THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENED.
I'm inspired by the Fortunato family's tireless advocacy for the Williams Syndrome community, and honored that my book's story -- which celebrates inclusion and representation -- spoke to you; that's the dictionary definition of the term "target audience," right there.
Thanks to the entire @afresearchgrant community for welcoming me and my book so warmly.
Thanks to @bkeagle for covering such a special night and platforming the stories and missions that mean so much to us all.
