Caregiver of the Month: September 2012
Submitted by Kathy S.
My dear friend, Terri, has devoted her life to care for her son 24/7 as he is mentally handicapped and prone to violent seizures. She is very protective of her son and does not trust anyone else to keep a close eye on him. Terri doesn't do much for herself at all, and is one of the most selfless people I now. I could not think of a more deserving person to nominate for Caregiver of the Month.
