We’ve been lucky to have a caregiver come over twice a week for a couple hours. Now and as time goes on, my mom requires a tremendous amount of attention and energy. I’m often exhausted. But we are committed to keeping her at home. I have tried to get more help in, but unfortunately have had no success from two different agencies. People just didn’t show up, or didn’t have the necessary skills. It was very frustrating. After reading a couple articles about hiring a caregiver, I remembered I had the contact info for a CNA who cared for my dad when he was in a facility. As difficult as that was, she was our angel. I contacted her and she said she would love to help us out. We went through all the necessary paperwork and she came over today. She is so sweet and calm, and mom seemed to like her. She will be coming over a few afternoons a week. After she left, my sister said it best “my heart is full right now”. I’m cautiously optimistic that she will work out and feeling very blessed as I thanked God all evening.

I Found God today in a caring young woman.
