About Rukeeya

I BECAME A CARE GIVER BECAUSE OF MY GRANDMOM. SHE HAD ARTHRITIS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH BLOOD SUGAR, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, ASTHMA, DIABETES AND WAS OBESE. SO WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I STARTED EXERCISING WITH HER, MAKING SURE SHE TOOK HER MEDICINE, WENT WITH HER ON HER DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, GAVE HER THE INSULIN SHOTS, CHECKED HER BLOOD SUGAR AND BLOOD PRESSURE. BATHE HER, GROOMED HER AND COOKED FOR HER. IN 2008 I MOVED TO MILWAUKEE, WI TO HELP ONE OF MY BROTHERS OUT WITH COLLEGE, WE WOULD GO VISIT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BUT SHE WASN'T GETTING THE CARE AND ATTENTION SHE NEEDED BECAUSE I WAS NOT THERE TO PROVIDE IT AND IN 2010 SHE PASSED AWAY FOR HEART FAILURE. MY BROTHER DID GRADUATE IN 2012, AND I STARTED LOOKING INTO HOME HEALTH CARE I WAS ABLE TO HELP OUT A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER PAIR THAT NEEDED MY HELP FOR A WHILE DURING THE END OF 2013 AND BEGINNING OF 2014.
