Featured Caregiving Story

Joe Bowling Cared for by Alesha White of Georgetown , OH

Joe was my grandfather. I loved him dearly and would trade anything in the world to have him back. He passed away of C.O.P.D.. For those who don't understand what this is, it isa a disease that smokers catch. It attacks your heart and lungs and makes for a very sad situation. I am 20-years-old, and my grandfather had 7 children. When there was controversy on who would care for him, I was the first to step up and care for him. Others may see it as a bad thing to watch someone get worse by the day...
