Yesterday, I published an update interview with Daniel, who is diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.. When we first met in 2019 he told me that he thought he would never be happy again. I returned 5.5 years later to see if Daniel had managed to experience any joy in his life with mental health struggles. It was a joy sitting with Daniel again. We have grown quite close over the years and I think that's probably evident to anyone who watches this update.

Yesterday I shared the first video on SBSK that was 4k quality. Since starting this channel in 2015, I primarily concentrated on the social and educational aspect of these interviews. This year, I am focused on improving the technical side of our channel as well. Over the coming months you will see a combination of videos on our channel that are 4k, as well as standard HD videos that were filmed prior to this upgrade. By the end of this year, all our videos released will be of 4k quality. Thank you for suppSpecial Books by Special KidsPost · 1 month ago
Yesterday I shared an update video with Zaid, who is a burn survivor. We first met in 2019 when he was 16-years-old. He is now 21. This update examined his mental and social growth. One of my favorite things about filming these videos is the close bonds I've been able to form with people around the world. It's such a gift. Thanks for being you, Zaid!Special Books by Special KidsPost · 2 months ago
Yesterday, I shared Lincoln's story. He is diagnosed with X-linked myotubular myopathy, a rare neuromuscular disorder that leaves him with near-total paralysis. Lincoln is still a happy kid who loves life and his family. In this video Lincoln shared that it is his greatest wish to have a shower that he fits in. His current one is way too small for his needs. Our community has currently raised $23,688 in just a few hours and it looks like his shower will be happening! Thank your for helping to make Lincoln'sSpecial Books by Special KidsPost · 2 months ago
Yesterday I shared Bret's interview. This will be our last video of 2024. I thought it was a great interview to close out the year because it was a reminder that there are so many loving and kind people in this world. I am going to spend the last few days of the year with family, before starting again the first week of 2025. Believe it or not, we are only a few months away from our 10 year anniversary of starting SBSK! I plan to make 2025 truly special for our community to celebrate this milestone.

Puppy update! A few months ago we shared that we rescued a dog named Gizmo. She is somewhere between 1-2 years old and spent the first part of her life as a stray living outside. The first few weeks she was terrified of me, but now she refuses to leave my side. We have quickly become best friends. It is very rewarding seeing Gizmo learn to trust. We are focused on her training with the goal that she will eventually be able to travel with us as we zip and zag across the country to film interviews.

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's video. One of my favorite things about SBSK is meeting so many nice people and families. I am constantly reminded that there are so many good people in the world who are just trying to do their best for their loved ones, such as Connor and his family. I hope that watching these videos brings you the same type of hope for the future that I have while filming them.Special Books by Special KidsPost · 4 months ago
