Denise Doxey, our past Stake Relief Society President, is now on the General Relief Society Board. The General Relief Society is looking for stories of women who struggle with disabilities in their lives. They would love to hear if and how Relief Society, Visiting Teaching, and the Ward helps you. If you are interested in writing a piece for the RS/lds.org site please send me an email with your story to debbybierman@hotmail.com and I will forward it on to Denise.
Thanks -Debby

RS/lds.org is looking for stories of those struggling with disabilities and how ward members could be more helpful to families and mothers. Examples would be down syndrome, autism, ADD, ADHD, deaf, blind, mental illness - depression, bi-polar, birth traumas, birth, genetic defects, etc.

1. How can the R.S reach out to them ?

2. Is it hard to ask for help and why?

3. Have they felt the support of R.S. or Visiting Teachers generally?

4. What suggestions would they offer that we could put on the website or in the news media that would be of more help?

5. Are Bishops/R.S Presidents really aware of a situation?
