April Dawn White is hope dealer, writer, and former pharmacist. In 2015, a rare illness, Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis, catapulted April into the world of chronic illness. April draws strength daily with Jesus, coffee, and afternoon naps. While illness hijacked her body, she refuses it to hijack her hope. God is using April’s chronic battle as a platform to write and speak of God’s chronic presence from her website, AprilDawnWhite.com.
