For those who don't know our story, our son, Niko Azai, was born with an encephalocele, causing his skull to not fully form, leaving space for the brain to leak out. The initial conversations with our Medical Team were that he would not survive the pregnancy, much less the delivery or the life-saving surgery he would so desperately need following. We spent many sleepless nights researching, reading, and praying. Every new doctor visit created less hope as the diagnosis proved fatal. Every prayer we prayed seemed to have no answer. Where was God? Does He not see us struggling down here? We have been so faithful. Why is this happening to us? With our faith crumbling and the weight of this situation defeating, we were searching for one thing, Hope.

*Hope that our story would be different.

*Hope that God would provide us with a medical team capable of handling our needs.

*Hope that our beautiful baby boy would survive and be given a life worth living.

Have you ever been in a situation where you were searching for hope? Maybe, you are also the parent or caregiver of a medically fragile child, and you understand firsthand how these scenarios have played out. Or, you are an individual struggling with finding hope in the world, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Well, this is for YOU! Our stories may not be exactly the same, but the end goal is. We are all created in the image of God. No matter our background, race, or diagnosis, we are all.... Gifted Differently.

We are doing a pre-order for our new shirts, "Gifted Differently."

Help us spread love, hope and encourage others one shirt at a time!

Blessings,

Chaz & Amy Jackson
