Скачать или смотреть Through Autism and a Heart Transplant — One Family’s Strength with Amy Cooper

This week on Stories That Shaped Her, I sat down with Amy Cooper — a mother and wife whose story reflects strength, faith, and unwavering love.
Amy opens up about raising her 12-year-old autistic son — the daily challenges, small victories, and the deep bond that words can’t capture. She also shares how her world changed when her husband of 22 years faced a sudden heart transplant, and how their family found grace in survival.
Her story is raw, honest, and full of hope — a reminder that love and perseverance can carry us through life’s hardest chapters. 💙
