Founder of the Braelyn Aubrey Foundation, Don Culp, opens up about the struggles of being a parent of a child with special needs and how the supports provided through the EFMP and Tricare made a positive impact in the life of his daughter and family. 

"When we are focused on the process it's easy to forget the most valuable resource, time."
