On this Dad to Dad podcast, host David Hirsch talks with SFN Mentor Father Jerry Castro, of Washington, DC who is a financial industry veteran and Branch Office Manager at UBS.

Jerry and his second wife, Catherine, have been married for six years and are the proud parents of eight children: Megan (34), Elise (26), Marlie (24), Elizabeth (24), Jerry, Jr. (18), Carie (14), Jett (10) and Jack who passed away just shy of his 16th birthday in 2017.

Jerry shares how Jack, who was a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy and unable to walk or talk, was a real positive influence on the Castro family and that his legacy lives on. That’s all on this SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

Special Fathers Network -
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
