Welcome to @livelikechar . I'm grateful you are here. Over these past 12 months, our family has received a massive amount of love & support that has poured in from family, friends & complete strangers. Many of you have asked questions about Charlotte & her life. In this video, I will describe how Charlotte's life with food allergies began as a newborn & how our family adjusted. Also, how living with life-threatening food allergies affected Charlotte during her elementary school years.
Thank you for sitting with me 🦋
