Being a caregiver can be a lonely life and sometimes it seems that the only people that really understand what its like to be a caregiver are other caregivers. We come in all shapes, sizes and walks of life, but we are all the same. We all have stories. We love, we care and we make a difference to those we care for. You are all celebrities to us and we would love to hear YOUR story! Feel free to share you stories and adventures below and have a great day.
