DISABILITY AWARENESS
At the age of 5, Jasmine was diagnosed with a rare degenerative bone disorder called Legg Calve Perthes Disease. She spent three years in a wheel chair, and she is eternally grateful for the experience. Though she is no longer in a wheel chair, and the operations are long behind her, she continues to make disability awareness a huge part of her life. She has a lifelong handicapped placard, so many people are jealous she doesn't have to pay for parking meters! Disabilities come in all shapes and sizes and compassion fits into all of them.
