Rea of Hope

It wasn’t at all what I envisioned for her.

I imagined her surrounded by the same peers she’d had since Kindergarten. I imagined a traditional 8th-grade graduation at our public school, inclusion — what I fought so hard for, for so long. No one outwardly recognizing how much it took to get to that moment except for me. More people than she would have liked. Too much noise. Fast. Impersonal.

But what I envisioned wasn’t what she needed.

What she found was so much more.

It was beautiful, intimate, and perfect. Every child was celebrated for exactly who they are.

This past year, I watched her grow. I watched the worry and anxiety surrounding her seizures slowly fade. I watched her build genuine friendships. I watched her become the person she is meant to be, while staying true to who she has always been: kind, thoughtful, and hardworking.

As I watched her walk across that stage, I wasn’t thinking about what could have been or what I once imagined.

I knew in my heart that she landed exactly where she was always supposed to be. ❤️

To the caregivers, the appointment schedulers, therapy jugglers, advocates, lunch-packers, and parents carrying more than most people ever see…

You were never meant to do everything and make it look effortless.

The expectation is impossible. Give yourself credit for all you’re carrying. 🤍

💜 Happy Mother’s Day 💜
Today, we celebrate every mom.

But especially the moms whose motherhood journey looks nothing like they once imagined.

The moms who balance parenting with caregiving.

The moms are navigating hospital visits, therapies, medications, and endless advocacy.

The moms who are carrying invisible weight while still showing up every single day with strength and love.

And to the mothers grieving the loss of a child — we hold space for you today and always. Your love continues beyond loss, and your child will never be forgotten.

At Rea of Hope for a Cure Foundation, we see you.

We honor you.

And we celebrate the incredible love, resilience, and courage that motherhood requires.

Wishing you moments of peace, love, and support today.

Today, January 26—better known as 1in26 Day—we pause to recognize a reality that hits close to home.�1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime. For us, Reagan is our 1 in 26—our why, our inspiration, and the heart behind Rea of Hope.

Our family’s story is not unique. Along the way, we found others walking similar paths, and we’ve been honored to support families newly navigating an epilepsy diagnosis. That community—those shared moments of fear, resilience, education, and hope—is what built this foundation.

Today, we recognize Reagan and everyone in our community affected by epilepsy. Who is your 1 in 26?

About the Rea of Hope for a Cure Foundation�:
Rea of Hope exists to support and connect families, raise awareness, and funds that directly support epilepsy research. In honor of 1in26 Day, we invite you to join us in making an impact. Consider making a $26 donation today to help us continue this mission and bring hope to every 1 in 26.
