Gina and Donald understand the joys and challenges of everyday parenting and believe that communication and emotional stability are crucial for a healthy, happy family. They are passionate about helping other families, particularly those in the "Sandwich Generation" who are raising kids while caring for aging parents, find their way through similar challenges.
