“Getting competent nursing to come in has been a challenge. If we do not feel comfortable we will not send her in with that nurse.”
“…Agencies do not put any effort into doing any type of screening. We’ve heard, “Nah, she looks too heavy for me” or “She is probably too much of a burden for me”.
STOP #7: One parent having to stay home to care for their child
Kathy and Gary share their journey with their 14 year old daughter, Katelynn, and the challenges they face in the day to day in caring for her needs.
They discuss the challenges in finding support and help they need to maintain their own careers and their own health.
We hear stories like this with so many of our families…. Trying to balance life and their children’s needs that so often other important things for themselves get pushed aside.
They are hopeful that with more awareness to what their needs are, that it could help them find the support their family and families like theirs need.
So that’s why it’s Stop #7 in our 100 mile run across Long Island for our inaugural Run To Breakthrough event!
We may not be able to immediately change the system, but we can build awareness. Change is not possible without it. ❤️🔥
