Hello, my name is Greg, I was a home care provider for five years, full time, for my wife Chelsea. My wife had an extremely unique condition(s), she had advanced Neuropathy that caused her fingers, elbows, knees, toes and hip joints to erode away, become dislocated and locked in position. My wife was NOT paralyzed so she was in incredible, unimaginable pain while still living the completely immobile life of a paraplegic. Despite these tremendous setbacks my wife was a beautiful genius, she went back and forth to law school at Wayne State University, all while in this condition. She was able to type with her thumbs and was able to the pass Bar Exam on the first try and started working as a lawyer from our bedroom! My wife passed away from infections and complications from a surgery in January, 2019. We were both only 32 years old. I am lost without my wife. I bring the positivity and spirit of my wife to my work and I hope I can help! :)

    I cannot recommend Greg highly enough. He is a personal assistant for my quadriplegic 27yo son. Greg is not only dependable, but he is engaging, interesting, kind, connective and helpful beyond words. If you have the opportunity to have Greg work with your family (as long as you're not snatching him up from ours ;-) I would 1000% recommend you do so.
