My mom lived with ALS for over 10 years, including over five years on a ventilator. I was one of her primary caregivers, along with my father who is a retired physician.
I've worked with kids that have special needs for over 10 years, and it is truly my passion and so lucky that I get to do this as my job! They bring so much joy to my life!
