While most of Central Oregon is busy embracing the holiday season, many families raising a child with a disability brace for this time of year, as unexpected bills, difficult care decisions, and challenging medical conditions further complicate their lives, creating mounting stress even before attempting to create a magical Christmas experience for their children. Adler’s Voice aims to make Christmas a little brighter for local families raising children with disabilities this holiday season.
