Emma Miles worries about her brother Ethan, who is non-verbal and needs constant care. She is afraid her income won’t be enough to get him the care and resources he needs once he ages out of school. Her worst fear is that he will be abused in a care home.

“His world doesn’t function without us,” says Miles.
