Rebecca

FROM CALIFORNIA

My name is Rebecca, I am 44 years old and I take care of my husband William whom is 62 years old. I have been taking care of my husband for 6 years when he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It stops him from being able to work and doing other stuff so I do mostly everything like doctor visits, hospital stays, medicine drop offs and pick ups. It isn't easy seeing your spouse go through something like this and I wish there was a cure, but as long as I'm here with him I know he's okay.
