FROM MICHIGAN

I care for my brother Brian with down syndrome. I help Brian with his everyday needs. He needs help with preparing meals, cooking and cleaning up after himself. I help with appointments and errands as well. I enjoy helping my brother, because he is the reason I am here today. He needs help with daily tasks and chores and I am happy to help. We both are doing the best we can to make it. The weather is difficult on him sometimes here he doesn't do well in the winter. I wouldn't trade my time with my brother for anything in the world!
