The mother of a child who has cerebral palsy composed this list of ways to reach out—and help out—the family of a disabled child.

1. Pray—and let the family know you are praying. Of course, this is the most important thing you can do. Not long ago, a local church was planning a prayer vigil and called to obtain specific prayer needs concerning my son. It was an incredible faith-builder and encouragement for all of us to see God answer the prayers of these precious people.
