Andi Elliott has dealt with some of life’s most challenging times. Her daughter, Charlotte, was given a catastrophic diagnosis at just 1 year old, which turned their world upside down. Searching for answers, Andi became a full-time caregiver and advocate for Charlotte in the overwhelming world of complex medical issues. Charlotte’s ultra-rare disease demanded 24 hour care, and doctors gave little support as Andi navigated uncharted waters, all while managing her home and school. “Don’t believe the lie that God won’t give you more than you can handle”, Andi says, “I was not strong enough to endure what God asked of me, only my complete dependence on Him gave me the strength to get through each day.”
“God has shaped my perspective to live life to the fullest. He has taught me contentment in my situation, not apart from it. If he can bless me richly despite my circumstances, I know he can do the same for everyone.”
Andi lives in Mid-Central Missouri with her family and focuses on homeschooling, speaking, and operating their family businesses, for which she has a passion.
