Hello! My name is Nicholas, I'm 25 years old, and I'm the proud brother of a beautiful little girl named K. K was born with Down Syndrome, a heart defect, Celiac, and thyroid challenges, and later diagnosed with Autism, ODD, and ADHD. Growing up, I watched my mom navigate life as a single parent to a child with special needs, and it was nothing short of inspiring. As a family, we learned how to communicate and support K through tools like basic sign language, which gave her a voice when she was nonverbal. I often assist her with hygiene, dressing, and mobility - and I've found real joy in helping others who need extra care, patience, and support.
