Real Lives. Real Love.
At The Apricity Hope Project, we know that behind every diagnosis is a child — not a case study. A family — not a file. A story — not a statistic.
Too often, when families first hear a medical diagnosis, they’re met with Google searches full of worst-case scenarios. But our children? They are so much more than a list of symptoms or a long name on a medical chart. They are joy-bringers, wisdom-teachers, magic-makers, and resilient little humans who defy expectations every day.
This series is our way of sharing their stories — the raw, radiant, real ones. The ones that show the beauty and bravery of disabled and medically complex children, and the fierce, unwavering love of the caregivers walking beside them.
Whether a child is navigating a rare disease, disability, autism, terminal diagnosis, or anything in between, these family stories shine a light on what it really means to love and be loved through it all.
We hope this space becomes a lighthouse in the storm. A soft place to land. Apricity in the winter. A reminder that even in the hardest moments, love shows up — loud and bold and stubborn as ever.
If you’re a caregiver raising a disabled or medically complex child, and you’d like to share your story, we’d be honored. Please email us at hello@apricityhope.org — you don’t need to be a writer to speak your truth. We’ll walk with you every step of the way.
Welcome to the Real Lives, Real Love Series. We’re so glad you’re here.
