FASD Hope is a podcast series about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience.

On the 13th episode of FASD Hope, Natalie Vecchione (Podcast Host) speaks with Audreuna Butler and her mom, Crystal Butler. Audreuna is 10 years old and an author who wants to bring awareness to people about foster care and for families becoming foster families. From the time she was 5-9 years old, Audreuna wrote a book (with her mom and dad's assistance) to honor her three foster sisters. Audreuna's book, "The Krystal Kingdom", is Biblical-based, fictitional story and takes her readers on an imaginative journey with four princesses and their struggles to get back to their families. Her book is through the lens of a child and her story is imaginative, symbolic and shares her love for her foster sisters. Audreuna's mission is to bring awareness about being a foster family and sharing her faith to as many people as possible.  A portion of the proceeds from the sales of "The Krystal Kingdom" will go the Bair Foundation, a Christian, Child and Family Ministries and Foster Care Organization.    During our conversation, Audreuna, Crystal and Natalie discuss the following topics:  how Audreuna's vision of writing a book became a reality, how her family supported her in writing this book to honor her foster sisters, her favorite parts of the book and what she hopes people will learn from her book.   "I can do all things through Christ Jesus Who strengthens me." - Phillipians 4:13   RESOURCES -  "The Krystal Kingdom" by Audreuna Butler (2019)   How to buy Audreuna's book- ebay.com - "The Krystal Kingdom" momentspod.com drajrbutler.com ajrbulter@gmail.com   FASD Hope- http://www.fasdhope.com/ info@fasdhope.com Instagram - @fasdhope Facebook - @fasdhope1 Pinterest - @fasdhope!
