    Thank you Joyce for having Hannah Smith on your podcast
    I absolutely love Joyce Bender’s podcast! I listen to it every week. I loved so very much listening to Hannah Smith on the show with Joyce. She is a hero to many throughout the US who battle Celiac Disease like my twin sons. I’m amazed how much this young woman has accomplished. We have all of her books and they have been a source of reassurance to my kids and their friends. Hannah has taken the struggles of her own journey facing disability and become the nation’s advocate for the food allergy communities. She is sounding forth the call that people who do not receive essential and reasonable accommodations can become very, very ill or die. We cannot thank you enough Joyce for having Hannah Smith on your podcast. What an inspiration!

    This is the best podcast ever!
    This is great. If you guys like to & please look at marriage rights for us people with disabilities. There is a Facebook page called marriage equally for people with disabilities. Please please look into it. I find it very sad as to why we are denied medical stuff once we get married. That is so unfair & cruel. We shouldn't have to choose money over love. :'( Also another thing some schools don't have special ed programs & because of that disabled kids can't learn as well & also get bulled because of it. This needs to be available all around the states! We ether need to help those school fund those programs or send the kids with disabilities with a school who actually have special ed classes. That is all keep it up. I just subscribed! ^_^
