We just celebrated our 10th Anniversary 🎉 ⭐ !! My sister, @[email protected], has lived with me and my husband, @[email protected] since Dec 1, 2013. It's a victory in so many ways. Teresa was wrongly labelled 'incapable' in 2013 and put in a nursing home. Most people don't get out alive—and they don't become #HumanRights champions as Teresa has done. 🙌 #IDPwD #downsyndrome #forcedcare #activism My #memoir tells the tale: Freeing Teresa: A True Story about My Sister and Me. https://a.co/d/2FUMT56

Ten years ago today, on Nov 27, 2013, my life and @[email protected]'s were changed forever. Teresa was taken out for a nice breakfast -- and then put into a nursing home (with no medical need to be there and against her wishes). Read the rollercoaster story: "Freeing Teresa: A True Story about My Sister and Me" https://a.co/d/cZgr0Lr #memoir #books #disability #forcedcare

I've wanted to tell this true story for 10 years. Today, my book, "Freeing Teresa," is live in print and as an e-book. 🙌 Please help me spread the word! Advance praise: “A courageous, personal account of fighting the system—and family— to free Teresa from #forcedcare.” Alanna Hendren, Executive Director, Developmental Disabilities Association https://a.co/d/cFpenRX @[email protected] #disability #downsyndrome #ableism #books @[email protected] #truestory #freeingteresa
