Help & Hope For Daniel

My friend Karen called  a few months ago and asked if I would help with a video about her son Daniel. I  knew her son had Tourette’s syndrome and OCD; but since I had never witness an episode I had no idea of the debilitating form of his condition.

Like every mother Karen wants her son to have an opportunity for a good life.  She really didn’t need my help with the video. Watch and what you’ll see is a very moving message from a mother who has not given up hope for her son’s future.  After you watch the video, take a moment and visit Karen’s website. Thank you!
