Hi!
I am Ava, and my daddy is Staff Sergeant Justin Casson. When I was 3 months old my Daddy deployed to Iraq for the 3rd time. My mommy and my brothers and I missed daddy very much and when he came home he was kinda different. My mommy says that he has PTSD and mTBI. I don't understand what that means and I know my daddy loves me very much but needs a time out sometimes when things get busy or noisy. He still loves to watch football on TV and sometimes he plays with me and my dolls. But sometimes he is sad and has headaches. Some of my friends have mommies and daddies with PTSD too and I want to tell the whole world about my daddy and other mommies and daddies like him. I know it would make kids like me feel better to know that there are other kids with special mommies and daddies like mine. Please help me to tell my story to other kids by making a donation to Take The Step.
Love,
Ava
