Caregivers Series: Welcome

A saint. 
Angelic.
Too good to be true. 
Selfless
Tiresome
Brave
Good Samaritan

These are all words to describe caregivers. At least, this is what people think of when they think of the word "caregiver". They believe these angels walking the Earth are completely selfless people who help when needed. 

Just who are these people that are around to help us do the things that most people do for themselves? Just what does having a caregiver mean? Is it okay for you to recognize your own limitations?
Stay tuned for this very special topic.

We also talk about a law that dates back to the Great Depression where it's legal in this country to pay you less just because you're disabled. Yep. Your employer can pay you sub minimum wage just because you're disabled and it's ALL LEGAL. Why? We need to do something about this. If we're doing the same work, then why aren't we getting paid the same? What is it about a wheelchair or a mental illness that makes you think I have to get less money? We need to sign a petition or something folks. Tune in to fin...
