Meet my friend and hero, Donnie Kanter Winokur. Donnie and her husband adopted Iyal as a tiny tot, and as he grew, discovered he has Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Join her via video as she discusses what this beautiful young man and his family have had to deal with, and how a highly trained FASD service dog added a delightful dynamic to their lives.
Morasha Rael Winokur rocks. She’s authentic. Morasha knows that her brother’s constant babbling isn’t his fault, but sometimes she just wishes she could be a regular eleven-year-old girl. Not exactly possible, when brother Iyal, born with FASD, is unpredictable and emotional no matter where he is. At times, part of her wishes he would just shut up, while another part says, “But deep inside, I love him so much.”
There are plenty of “That’s not fair” times for Morasha, but also amazing amounts of family love, insight, and support. And an FASD service dog named Chancer for Iyal. With Chancer, Morasha says, she has a chance for a life of her own.
Read this book and I guarantee you’ll never think the same about the outcome of drinking while pregnant. But it’s much more. It’s an opportunity to meet a delightful family that advocates for children with FASD.
Morasha’s book is the “must have” of the 2009 holiday season and the coming year. A perfect gift, regardless of whether the reader has family or friends with special needs.
