About Kami

When my friend's mother came home in need of 24/7 care, I couldn't let him do it alone. The challenges and victories that we experienced together as she recovered were as a whole one of the most important experiences of my life and I would like to continue to help improve the lives of others in both big and small ways. My goal is to help. In whatever ways that I can to make someone else's life a little easier that day.

I have cared for my husband who was handicapped for seven years before his death in 2011. I have friends and acquaintances who have health problems, mental and physical, whom I look in on with a phone call or a personal visit. I enjoy being a caregiver because it makes me happy to make someone else happy.
