Why Caring Village
I helped create Caring Village to honor the legacy of my father and to help families care for their loved ones in need, as well as each other. I remember how difficult it was for my siblings and me to manage all of the caregiving activities for our father after he was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer.
