Sandra's Journey: Finding Strength and Purpose as a Special Needs Parent

You know, because I've come across parents who are questioning themselves: why me? Why have you allowed me to be part of this person's life? And I wanted god to show me so when he did show me and said: look, I've given this young man to you so that my power will manifest through him.
Parenting can be tough, but for Sandra Mame Opokuaah, raising a child with special needs brought a whole new set of challenges. In this episode of 'Restored Hope', Sandra opens up about her experiences and the obstacles she faced. She shares how she found her calling in supporting other parents going through similar struggles. As the founder of Jonny and Friends for Autism UK, Sandra's story is one of resilience and purpose.
She talks about her journey from being a dental nurse to becoming an activist and disability advisor. Sandra also touches on the emotional abuse some parents face within church communities and the critical importance of self-care. Through her faith and strength, Sandra's story offers hope and practical advice for anyone navigating the complexities of parenting a special needs child.
