What can I say but offer my prayers for you and your family, as well as for that unfortunate boy’s family, may Ryan’s fate bring about the change that’s needed 🙏💙

Thank you so much Sunita for sharing light on this subject. My heart goes out to this family. I will keep them in my prayers.🙏💞💫

This story just breaks my heart 💔and touches me deep after reading it this morning because I have much empathy for people; my older brother was mentally handicapped and lived in a home with down syndrome adults. Here in my hometown a family with a 16-year-old down syndrome son was removed from their flight because of a pilot’s prejudice towards their son.

I don’t have to worry about autonomy here because my friend is an attorney who made sure the world learned about this incident. So I will post one of the stories I found. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/couple-to-sue-aa-after-they-were-denied-flight-from-newark-with-disabled-son/

Holding this family in my heart, along with yours and other families who care for someone like Ryan. I have an older child who has meltdowns and it gives me such empathy for people with PDA and also for those whose gender or race make it much more difficult to be safe in this world. May we build a world that cares for all our kids.
