    I have been caregiver, since I was 5 years old.... it hard!
    Its grilling,one needs courage of conviction...
    Governments around the world need to address the family/friend caregiver issue and have financial help for ppl at home. As always start my talks,
    "Mobility changes everything"

    I am so glad people are finally starting to realize that this is an unspoken reality for many American children. We need to see more content like this because these kids are living in the shadows; we need to shine a light on them so we can figure out ways to help them and their families. We need support systems for young caregivers and also for them after their time as a young caregiver is over. Thanks AP for the video

    I am proud of this family, and of these 2 young gentlemen. As a caretaker myself, I can relate.

    *Hello! I am Donald, the personnel of the American Airlines of the DCA (Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport). It was my pleasure into following with your directions for assistanting your husband's aisle chair procedure!* The jetway crew didn't know how to operate your machine so, they have carefully brought it by the entire carrier (which is extremely rare out of my 4 years that it has happened for the first time). That was the cause of the wait time. I have fallen interested into learning about his muscle weakness symptoms of your husband, is was new to me. 🙏🏾 It is not a trait that carries on from the previous family tree. Something has mutated his gene for the neurons to react. 🐝
    Your 2 sons were so smart in person, I could never get bored of them!

    Lack of the American healthcare and social system. No child should be responsible for the care of their parents. My husband in an Incomplete Locked in Syndrome after a encephalitis. Here in Germany we have the opportunity to hire caretakers and they are paid by the social system we are paying in. Yes our taxes might be higher than yours but we know what we are paying. Namely for situation like this.

    Not even mentioning the children of alcoholics/addicts, who oftentimes have to care for their parent(s) and/or their siblings.
