I Am Your Gift

I Am Your Gift: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers of Special Needs Children

My name is Diana Uwera, and I am both a mother and the founder of the International Community Center, an organization dedicated to supporting children with special needs. With over a decade of experience providing care for children and adults with special needs, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible effort, patience, and love this journey demands.

This book, I Am Your Gift, is born from my deep commitment to helping parents, guardians, family members, caregivers, and providers navigate the unique challenges and rewards of raising a child with special needs. Inside, you will find invaluable tips and insights to guide you through the toughest days, reminding you to keep going, no matter the obstacles.

On this journey, you may often feel that your child doesn't understand the stress, exhaustion, or financial strain you face. Yet, through it all, your child is a gift-a precious reminder of the strength and resilience you carry within. My hope is that this book will serve as a source of inspiration and support, empowering you to embrace the journey with courage and unwavering love.
