Visiting the home of the Reed family was an absolute privilege. Mary Cota Reed is a true supermom. Despite being deaf, her ability to care for her daughter Catherine is extraordinary. In fact, I witnessed firsthand the exceptional care she provides to Catherine. I spent several hours at their home, photographing their daily activities. Together, they engaged in various routines, from exploring the backyard and touching plants, to swinging on a custom-built swing, playing soccer indoors, and enjoying the piano. I also captured moments of feeding time, checking vitals, and preparing medications and meals for Catherine.

Meeting Catherine, an 8-year-old angel with cerebral palsy, was an honor. Her smiles and vibrant personality warmed my heart. You can sense the presence of an angel when you’re with one, and I certainly felt that with Mary and Catherine. Thank you for welcoming me into your home.
