This is my grandson, Charleston Sage Goeppert, aka "Cash." He has Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1. Doctors told us he wouldn't make it. This is my journey of loving Charleston.

The Education Battle
This little boy may not be able to move physically, but he is moving mountains in our world. He deserves an education. He is smart. He is capable. He loves to learn. He WANTS to learn. He NEEDS to learn.
As if SMA isn't a huge enough battle already, we are now fighting with the Turlock School District over his education. Moving here has been wonderful.....my Charleston is thriving in every possible way. Then WHY can't we get him the education that every child in the United States is entitled to?
We have to fight for everything for him. We understand that SMA is "rare" (it really isn't, but LIVING with it is). We are more than willing to work with the school district; but instead, all we keep hearing is a big fat NO.
Well.........tomorrow they will meet with TWO Taylor women, and with Charleston's BIG DADDY!!!!
Wish us luck................or maybe, they may need the luck?????
