Every Child Belongs

Rising Above : Becky Davidson


Listen Later

In this episode of Every Child Belongs, Kim welcomes Becky Davidson, co-founder of Rising Above, a ministry dedicated to supporting families raising children with disabilities.  Becky shares her journey as a mother to her son, Jon Alex, who has profound disabilities, and how her family's experience led to the creation of Rising Above—a community that provides encouragement, resources, and connection for families who often feel unseen and isolated. Becky opens up about the early challenges of parenting a child with special needs, the struggle of isolation, and the importance of letting people into your story. She also shares practical advice for both families of children with disabilities and those who want to be better friends and allies. Whether you're a parent navigating a similar journey or someone looking to support a family in your life, this conversation is filled with wisdom, hope, and actionable steps toward building a more compassionate community. Every Child Belongs explores how we can create spaces where every child feels heard and valued, whether neurodivergent, differently abled, or they've experienced trauma. We'll hear from educators, parents, professionals, and more. Kim Botto is an adoptive mom, grandma, an advocate for kids and teens with disabilities, as well as a long-time leader of kids in student ministries.
