Do you have a personal hero? Tell us about them. It doesn’t have to be perfect to make a difference in someone else’s life.

Your Everyday Hero: Gail E.

My hero is a woman who has two special needs children, a son and a daughter. Her kids have autism and down syndrome. She started a school for typical and special needs children in the Bay Area about 10 years ago and she did not allow her circumstances to limit her vision. Today the school has over 100 families when it only began with five. My daughter just graduated from the school and is now on her way to high school..she is my hero.
