In this Healing Journeys feature, we focus on local Reno Mother and business owner Amber Howland and her daughter Athena. Athena was born with a very rare disorder called Inversion/Deletion of the 8th Chromosome which causes permanent physical and learning disabilities.
When the opportunity came up to share Amber and Athena’s story, we jumped at the chance to help her raise awareness and funding for Project 8p which is the non-profit organization that helps 8p parents and funds scientific research into the disorder itself. We are so proud of how this uplifting and inspiring video came out and are so happy to share Athena’s Blessing with you!
