Work Overview

This guided financial planning workshop was created by parents of children with disabilities, for mothers raising dependent children, including those with disabilities.It’s designed for mothers who understand that planning isn’t just about money — it’s about building a stable life for their families, now and through retirement.

 

During the session, we will address essential questions such as:
