Hi I'm Donna and I'm mom to three kids, 2 which are adults now one who
is 15 that has to have 24/7 adult care. He has seizures.

ANd a 90 year old mil who lives next door, and is legally blind. She does
pretty good on her own, but will call, come over or let you know if she
wants, needs or thinks you should get her anything. She also thinks
someone should come spend the day with her as much as possible.

We have finally with the help of a list found someone different for just about
everyday of the week, to come spend two or three hours a day with her,
and one of those days usually saturday my 15 year old takes he goes and
spends a few hours with her as her companion.

I help my 21 year old get his college freshman year started off, even though
he has Voc Reh. and he has tutoring at school, he dropped out of high school,
and keeping him up and going is sometimes a full time job.

My oldest is on SSI, so just making the dollars stretch for the month as
his Rep payee is a thing that is not so easy with the prices today, he has
a 4 year old that is the sunshine in my eye.

Caregiver I am to a degree but not in the same way as many of you.

Donna
