About Valerie

I recently spent three months caring for a relative who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Traveling this journey with her reminded me of the importance of having someone to encourage you, finding things to laugh about, and seeing blessings in each day. I am happy to say that this relative is currently doing well enough to live independently. Working with developmentally disabled adults impressed upon me the comfort that routine is in their lives. I made sure to make their world and their challenges my priority during the hours I assisted them each week.
