Episode 80 - The Gift of a Special Needs Child with Linda Aalderink

Sometimes life’s biggest blessings come in the most unexpected
packages.  Today’s guest, Michigan State Coordinator, Linda
Aalderink has found this truth to be true in her mothering

faced major medical challenges and shortly after was diagnosed
with Down Syndrome.  Facing an unknown future, Linda turned
to the Heavenly Father who brought her Moms in Prayer.
