This video shows a short glimpse of 34+ years of care giving my profoundly disabled daughter Bree. It presents a typical day in our lives and the things I have done to keep my daughter healthy and happy.

Thank you for viewing our story, I appreciate all of the love and support.

If you would like to learn more about our story, I explain a lot in this video:
   • More Of The Story Q&A With Wendy Gilker  

Bree passed away on January 5th, 2017. It was very peaceful and quick. It was kidney failure caused by her intestines backing up and closing the function of her kidneys. The 37 years that I got to spend with Bree were the best years of my life and I am so very grateful for this time and that I got to be her mom.
   • Bree's Slideshow  

My Tedx talk, which I was asked to do on the anniversary of her funeral (2018) is a explanation of what a gift Bree was in my life.

What a sweet lady! It's people like her who deserve praise and recognition, unlike half of our "celebrities" who basically do nothing.

You remind me of my mom, I was born with a brain defect, adhd, and a undetermined disability we still don’t have a name for. My mom was very active in my treatments such as special education and routine doctor’s visits to see what developments were made. I am 38 years old I can function on my own with a little assistance but I think I’ve come this far because my mom was dedicated to my success just like you and Bree ❤

My mother passed away recently and now I’m taking care of my 45yo disabled brother with profound intellectual disability and autism. It’s hard work but I don’t know if I could be as awesome as you are. Your passion for Bree radiates. I’m just exhausted all the time. Edit to add: I’m so sorry for your loss.
