Having a child with intense medical needs and disabilities makes it even more daunting to move to a new state and locate supports and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel Marquardt recently reached out to Raising Special Kids in preparation for her family\u2019s move from California to Arizona. \u201cOur middle son is medically complex and has a rare genetic condition, and I was most concerned with uprooting him,\u201d Rachel shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe loved his medical team, school, therapy providers and home nurses. However, looking at our family holistically, we continued to feel led to move so that I could be more present for all three of our boys.\u201d Rachel was working full-time as a teacher and balancing her busy job with her children\u2019s needs was becoming more difficult, especially as her son Jacob\u2019s medical issues grew more intense. The Marquardts knew they needed a change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Rachel researched their planned move to Arizona, a fellow parent of a child with disabilities recommended she contact Raising Special Kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing connected with RSK has melted so many of my moving anxieties away,\u201d Rachel said. \u201cI have told countless people how incredibly blessed I am to be in contact with this organization. When I have had dozens of questions, I speak to an actual, real live person who gives me help right away and understands what I am going through. Connecting with RSK has truly blessed me on this journey into the unknown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel added that the family support specialist she spoke with from Raising Special Kids answered her questions about how disability services work in Arizona, sharing resources to help her son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, her family is settling here in Arizona, and Rachel feels confirmation that the move was the right choice for her family. \u201cI am more confident that I can be a good advocate for my son and get him connected with a great team once again,\u201d Rachel added. \u201cI am truly grateful for this life-enhancing organization.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving can be a stressful experience for any family.
