Raising teenagers and navigating the post-high school transition is chock-full of excitement and anticipation, as well as its fair share of challenges, set-backs and loss. In this episode, Marcus and Jen share the experience of this college-bound journey for their first daughter, Addison, who has Down Syndrome. What is possible? How do you process the decisions? How do you handle the rejections? What does showing up as a parent look like in faith and practice? That's our conversation today on the Significant Life. Great resources we highly recommend: https://thinkcollege.net/ https://theluckyfewfoundation.org/ =============== ALL-NEW :: Significant Life Foundation Marcus and Jen have just launched a brand-new charitable foundation, inspired by their daughter, Addison, who was born with Down Syndrome, and deeply influenced by their work of advocacy and support over the past 20 years. We believe every life is a precious masterpiece, and uniquely embued by God with intrinsic, incalculable worth. Every person has a powerful purpose, but not everyone has equal access to opportunities. And that's why we exist! The Significant Life Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity, dedicated to the empowerment of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the full expression of their God-given purpose. We address the three cardinal concerns of adults and families living with these challenges: work, live, play. We champion interdependent residential living, meaningful work opportunities and integrated, vibrant social connections that create significant friendship connections. Your tax-free donation to the Significant Life Foundation helps advance the cause of access to opportunities for people with Intellectual Disabilities and their families.
