2013 - First year caregiving in our home.
  • We live in the Washington, D.C. area
  • Please contact us via e-mail or connect with me through LinkedIn
  • Please feel free to send this website link when you need to communicate for understanding about how caregiving is impacting your family, especially your children
  • Please encourage your school to identify and award Caregiving Kids with service learning hour credit and other ways - the point is not to get kids OUT of serving their community - the point is to RECOGNIZE and REWARD them for having already done so.
  • Please note: We are not official educators, researchers, lobbyists, policymakers - we are not official anythings. Our angle is Alzheimer's because that was our personal experience. However, we hope it is evident that caregiving youth issues include every single condition or disease from alcoholism to cancer and beyond.

​If you are currently a caregiving family - good luck. It's hard. We hope this helps. If you are a caregiving veteran - good job. We survived. There is life with caregiving. There is life after caregiving.

Love - Us

Fun Fact:

Picture
Our oldest son started drawing the week his grandmother moved in from Champaign, Illinois with his family. He was ten years old at the time. He said "I draw what I see."

​His Alzheimer's care taking journey began in 2013. He would sit in his grandmother's room for hours and draw to keep her company. He taught himself to draw through YouTube videos. She mostly ignored him or slept. We strongly believe there is a reason for everything - good can come out of bad. ♡ " We put up a web gallery for him as a memory placeholder - IJustDrawWhatISee.com
