Karen Davila at David
SUPER proud ang veteran broadcast journalist na si Karen Davila sa bagong achievement ng kanyang anak na si David na nasa autism spectrum.
Ibinandera ng Kapamilya news anchor sa madlang pipol na nag-start na sa kanyang internship job recently ang pinakamamahal na anak.
Nasa pangangalaga ng The Vanguard Academy Philippines si David na talagang pinasalamatan ng broadcaster nang bonggang-bongga dahil sa inklusibo nitong programa para sa mga kabataang may special needs.
Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Facebook account, masayang ibinahagi ni Karen ang mga ginagawa ni David sa kanyang OJT on the job training sa isang retail shop.
Personal na binisita ni Karen ang anak sa nasabing store base na rin sa short reel na kanyang ipinost sa FB.
Dito ipinakita niya sa kanyang mga followers ang suot na customized identification card ni David na may nakalagay na, “Thank you for your patience. I am a PWD (person with disability).”
Ipinakita rin ni Karen ang ginawang pag-assist sa kanya ni David bilang isang customer sa counter ng nasabing retail store.
“DAVID’s JOB INTERNSHIP. I surprised my son David today while doing his internship at Mumuso Philippines with his classmate Beacon.
“David is turning 21 & was diagnosed within the Autism Spectrum when he was 3 yrs old. I am so proud of how much David has grown & bloomed.
“Thank you Lord for walking with my son & holding his hand. David is a living example of your love,” ang caption ni Karen sa mga ipinost niyang litrato.
“I encourage more companies to hire people with disabilities & special needs. Inclusion is how we build a better and more compassionate world (heart emoji),” ang mensahe pa niya sa lahat ng kumpanya sa Pilipinas.
“Congratz! David, Best of luck in ur new adventure.Praying for U! Be Ble, ssed, Be well!”
“Congratulations young man! Keep it up! Success is now at the tip of your fingers!”

“Congratulations Mommy Karen Davila. Thank you for sharing this. This will inspire a lot of parents who are having fears for the future of their autistic child. Congratulations to you David!”
