Caregiving Story

Rickey Streets

I am a caregiver fully licensed and FBI background chk. from the state of W.Va. My brother has a tramatic brain injury and I'm all he has that will help. I picked him up in W.Va. after injury, getting licensed to take care of him and not realizing if I moved to Fl. they don't have any program's to pay me as W.Va. does. I learned it the hard way I moved here. I have a friend with ministry in Clearwater who uses his pontoon boat to take young cancer patient's fishing, fully licenced and I believe there is a need for patient's with post tramatic stress, head trauma, and there cargiver's themselve's. Would love to hear from someone who has the customer base to work with the two of us on building a program to help with the occupational therepy and emotional therapy the outdoor's give's to such victim's. Please contact me if anyone out there interested, I'm loosing my hair havn't had a day off in three yrs. and need the outdoor's myself, also some income.
