Hi there. For those of you that may or may not know me, I have spent almost 5 years devoted to seniors and their beloved family members. I was previously a caregiver and have since realized I am meant to be within this field. Today, I serve as the Business Development Manager for Home Instead and get to help families begin their care journey.
A little bit about me: I have started this journey as a caregiver since the eye-peeling age of eighteen. In a small midwest town, I have gotten to take care of pillars of the community and hear vast stories about them as an individual. Receiving care may be seen as a sense of vulnerability, but I have respected privacy and built trusting relationships with families over the years. I devote this cause to my "adopted grandparents." A family took me under their wing where I was a caregiver to a lady facing Alzheimer's, especially during the covid era. Today, she is now considered one of my guardian angels. This cause gives me so much significance because my actual grandparents are over 2,000 miles away, and in a way - I still had the honor of having grandma's and grandpa's and getting to create wonderful friendships with them. Today, I have hundreds of grandparents! A lot I still think about, with such unforgettable memories created. This journey has always been a ride and most importantly a blessing.
Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither are we. By participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, I’m raising funds and awareness to advance the fight against this disease — funds that allow the Alzheimer’s Association to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research.
Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us now more than ever — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you!
