Paulina Polanco, SRF volunteer and sibling to twin sisters with SYNGAP1 shares her very personal story of loss of what could have been, love, and hope.
Show Notes
The most moving episode yet! Paulina Polanco is caregiver to her twin sisters Libertad (Libby) and Esperanza (Espy). She delivered a raw, personal address at the 2023 SYNGAP1 Conference hosted by SRF.
