Katie Miniel is a mom/24 hour caregiver to her daughter who is 17 years old. Her daughter has Autism, developmental delays and a seizure disorder. She is mentally between 4-7 years old and needs constant care due to impulsive repetitive aggressive behaviors. Katie and her husband started a soap making business for her 3 years ago to help build skills while she was not learning at school. This also became a way for the family to make extra money since Katie can not work and her daughter is no longer in school. They still struggle every day with meltdowns but try to help their child find happiness in life. Katie's goal is to keep advocating through Texas Made Soap until families like hers will be heard and our children/ adults will have the care they need and deserve.
