As a mother of children with spina bifida and the co-founder of Seen, Cristina is on a mission to bring visibility and healing to families often overlooked. In this inspiring conversation, she talks about her new initiative to offer real rest to caregivers, the beauty of cultural identity, the hope of heaven, and the deep comfort of knowing that God sees us—especially in our suffering.
Cristina Pocta is the president and cofounder of SEEN, a nonprofit organization that supports individuals and families facing cancer, disabilities, or mental health challenges, as well as their caregivers.
