While I can empathize with all the caregivers out there... I have never
seen one article on help for those who need the help and are in constant
pain and need help around the clock and often times having their life
stolen from them like I have over the last year and a half. Not one single
article.

I have been having the worst of time and hurt the most by medical
caregivers over the years but I have not been in a position like I am now
since my injury over 37 years ago. Back then at least I had my mother and
my grandparents and they were the ones who had a shrewd best interest in my
well-being. Actions will always speak louder than words and know that they
are gone I have had to fend for myself. Unfortunately, I am not wealthy
enough to pay for what caregivers now want just to become a glorified
babysitter ($26/hour) but not poor enough to be eligible for any type of
Medicaid.

I have tried colleges, training programs, Independent Living Centers (I
used to work for one), churches and so much more only to come up empty.
This is the first time in my life I have not been able to find anyone.

Hope and prayer is the only thing I can do.
