HAMPTON ROADS, Va. â Two mothers with two similar stories of tragedy are pushing for change to better protect missing people with disabilities.
âSometimes your mission and purpose finds you,â said mother and advocate Shawn Eure-Wilson. âSometimes our mission and purpose are already written.â
She pushed for new legislation to better protect missing adults with autism. The bill she fought for recently passed the House of Delegates and is expected to pass the Senate this week with the hopes of becoming enacted law by July 1, 2021.
âFor so long, our friends and family members with disabilities have really been pushed to wayside,â said Eure-Wilson. âItâs long overdue.â
