FROM GEORGIA

My name is Jill and I have been caring for my brother Eric for about 2 years. Two years ago he was in a car accident that left him with a brain injury. He has improved quite a lot. He had to relearn how to walk and has come so far. In the beginning I helped him with everything. From bathing to eating. Now he is a lot more self sufficient. I still live with him and drive him to doctor appointments and the grocery store. He hasn't been approved yet to drive again. I'm so thankful he is still here today.
