Encouragement on National Parents’ Day
Is it possible to be a good parent when you have a significant disability? Katherine Wolf from Hope Heals Ministries suffered a serious brainstem stroke at the age of 26, when her son was just 6 months old.
“When your dreams have been shattered, and your parenting surely must be ruined, how can you instill the good things of God in your child?”

Today is National Parents’ Day and my dear friend, Katherine Wolf of Hope Heals Ministries, wants to share a special message with us. She speaks words of wisdom and encouragement for parents with disabilities. Katherine answers the heartbreaking question that so many of these parents ask,“how can I still be a great parent, even from a wheelchair?”

Katherine and Jay were a young couple living the dream in Southern California. But all is nearly lost when Katherine suffers a shocking near-fatal brainstem stroke, as they struggle to find hope in a life that looks nothing like the one they had before. Now, eight years later, Katherine and Jay are stewarding their story of suffering, restoration, and Christ-centered hope in this broken world through their ministry Hope Heals.
