In this episode of Something Extra, we feature the journeys of Matt Chernitsky and Brandon Spahr, two devoted fathers who graciously open up about their experiences with raising a child with Down syndrome. Their stories are a testament to love, resilience, and the power of community support. Additionally, we shine a spotlight on Pathways For Pops, a new state initiative aimed at providing resources and guidance for fathers of children with developmental disabilities. Maria Sivertson also sits down with Mandy Spisak, the new volunteer coordinator of DSANEO, to discuss the importance of volunteerism in creating a more inclusive society. Tune in to be inspired by these touching narratives and to learn more about the impactful work being done in our community.
