WHERE CAREGIVERS CONNECT & EMPOWERED TO CARE
About The Caregivers Circle
The Caregiver's Circle was birthed in 2014 out of a call from God, along with my own unique experiences in caregiving. A few years prior, caregiving was thrusted upon my brother and I, when my dad suffered a stroke. At the same time, my mom was hospitalized with health challenges of her own (see My Story). Once both of my parents were stable, I returned to my home out of state, and initiated caregiving from a distance.
Prior to this, I never thought about or saw much on the subject, yet I had already experienced many facets of caregiving. I have provided care to my parents locally & from a distance. I have been a caregiver to my son as an infant who was born with a cleft palate which required special care and eventually surgery. I have also been the recipient of care, having dealt with a life-threatening illness. All of these experiences have given me a very unique perspective on caregiving. They have also sent my emotions spiraling in many directions. However, it was the hand of God that kept me. It was His word and promises that sustained me and kept my footing sure.
If The Caregiver's Circle helps just one person, then all of our experiences in caregiving will not have been in vain.
