A Little Extra Love

Hey there,

We're Rachael & Kyle Vermeulen,

Just a couple of adventurers living our best life with our two incredible boys in the Rocky Mountains. Life threw us a curveball when our son Caleb was diagnosed with Down Syndrome and medical complexities, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild, beautiful ride of embracing the unexpected ever since.

1 in 20 homes here in Colorado is navigating the wo

rld of raising a child with a disability. It’s a journey that’s as challenging as it is rewarding, and it’s taught us a thing or two about the power of love, resilience, and finding joy in the little things God shows us along the way. Speaking of challenges, this statistic always takes our breath away: a 90% divorce rate for parents of children with disabilities. It’s a stark reminder of how crucial it is to keep our family bond strong and support each other through thick and thin. And that’s precisely what we’re committed to doing. The heart of who we are and our ministry is about finding God in the midst of the chaos, and about clinging to faith when the world seems to spin out of control. We’ve seen firsthand how easy it is for families like ours to lose faith and hope, especially when the hustle and bustle of disability parenting makes it hard to even step foot in a church or consistent community regularly. That’s why 'A Little Extra Love' isn’t just about sharing our journey; it’s about lifting up and empowering disability parents and caregivers through a faith-driven community rooted in hope, healing, and—yes—extra love. We’re here to remind everyone that God walks this path with us, in the laughter, the tears, and every moment in between. Our mission is to create a space where families facing similar challenges can come together, feel understood, and find strength in numbers. We believe in the transformative power of sharing our stories, in the healing that comes from faith, and in the incredible resilience of families like ours. So, whether you’re a fellow special needs parent, a friend, or just someone who loves a good story and believes in the power of faith, we invite you to join us on this crazy, beautiful adventure. Let’s navigate this journey together, rooted by hope, wrapped in grace, and armed with the kind of love that moves mountains.

The gospel has never been limited by intellect. Somewhere along the way, the church started believing that spiritual depth requires cognitive ability. That discipleship has to be simplified or separated for people with intellectual disabilities.

But the Holy Spirit is not intimidated by cognitive delay. God does not require high cognition to grant deep communion.

Season 2 of the A Little Extra Love Podcast begins with this conversation with of because believers with intellectual disabilities are not side stories in the church. They are indispensable to the Body.

Dad, God didn’t miscast you.
He chose you for this child, on purpose, with purpose.

You don’t have to be a superhero. Your kids don’t need perfection, they need presence. They’ll remember your face at 3 a.m. more than the words you never found.

And you don’t have to carry the weight alone. Healing starts where hiding stops. Strength is found in showing up, opening up, and letting others stand with you.

Comment COMMUNITY to join other dads raising kids with disabilities because no father should walk this road alone.
