Everyone has a plan on how to raise a child until the unthinkable happens, and it shakes the foundation of your world. The plans that were made around raising a 'normal' child ended quicker than they began. In this transparent and honest lifestory, Ana Munoz shares her insights and faith in raising a daughter with Special Needs. Ana tells of the mountains that she has climbed to provide a world for her daughter that is filled with love and understanding. Giving birth to her has taken her on unexpected journeys of all the unknowns. Her daughter's life did not come with a manual, but it came with titbits of life lessons that she would not change in her world. Ana shares the lessons she's learned, perhaps the biggest being not to stereotype kids with special needs but to teach them that the sky is the limit.

These big steps have opened immense doors of opportunities on the island of Kauai with her peers and the community.
