Thank you for your selflessness, sacrifice, and difficult role you have embraced as a healthcare provider/Caregiver. I would be honored to tell your story as you wish to share it. We are glad to correct spelling so don’t worry about that.

I want you to be able to tell your story your way. Some things to include in your story that people often have questions about, are listed in the questions below….

Please feel free to add more than the questions listed. This is just a helpful starting point for a Caregiver story:

2. What injuries did they sustain?

3. When did this occur (Date or Season and Year, or)

4. How old were you when you became a Caregiver?

5. How old is the person who acquired the TBI or Trauma? How many concussions or TBI’s have they had? How old are they now?

6. How Long was their recovery? If still recovering what are you involved in helping them with, regarding care?

7. Can you identify what your biggest struggles are or have been over the weeks/months/years as a Caregiver?
