well most of my special needs planning
00:06
situations are very memorable because
00:08
i’m working with family members that are
00:09
trying to help a family member who
00:11
usually has significant disabilities
00:14
they’re all memorable in that it’s it’s
00:16
it’s a joy to help families in that
00:17
situation
00:19
but i do recall one where i worked with
00:21
a really nice family they were from a a
00:24
very rural area outside of st louis they
00:27
had very limited means and they had
00:29
adopted their foster son
00:31
and he developed
00:33
meningitis which was misdiagnosed and
00:35
unfortunately as a result he was
00:37
deaf-blind and and had some
00:39
developmental delays
00:41
uh there was a large personal injury
00:43
settlement and we were able to help them
00:45
plan for that and also
00:48
one thing they would wanted to very
00:51
very strongly was they wanted to get
00:52
their own home
00:54
and we were able to work that out keep
00:56
the child on the benefits that he needed
00:58
to receive
00:59
and still be able to to buy the home and
01:02
this family was so grateful and
01:04
much to my amazement they were able to
01:06
find a house for 55 000 so it was not
01:10
a luxurious mansion or anything they
01:13
just wanted a roof over their head that
01:14
they could call home for their son that
01:16
they were working so hard to give him
01:18
the best life possible
