Theresa Bartolotta

In this episode I speak with Abby Burle, founder of Love Your Story, an organization dedicated  to create places of belonging for families impacted by disabilities.  This project started after Abby and her husband Ryan traveled around the country seeking medical care for their triplets. They realized the financial impact of disability on family, and that many families spend more than 22% of their annual income on expenses related to the disability.  In the episode, Abby talks about her journey as a mom to children with disabilities, and how she advocated to start Love Your Story. She shares the story of their first project, which was to purchase a home in Gainesville, Georgia to provide physical and financial rest for families traveling to the area for medical treatment or intensive therapies. 

Abby is passionate about inclusion and changing the way we talk about disability and understanding those who live with disability in their families. You will be inspired by her drive and how she creates community.  Enjoy!!
