A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family. Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones. I hope you’ll join me.

An estimated 5.4M children and adolescents in the U.S. are direct caregivers for family members. Some of those kids and teens—who cared for a loved one battling ALS— get to be kids again at Camp HLC. It’s a place where caregiving, love & fun meet. Their experiences are shared, felt, and understood.

Church should be a place where every family feels seen, supported, & welcomed. But for many parents of children with autism or other disabilities, worship spaces can unintentionally create barriers instead of belonging. Parents reimagine what an inclusive faith community looks like

Eric Carlson, Director of Long-Term Services and Supports Advocacy, testifying about at the U.S. House Committee on Ways & Means: "Without Medicaid, many older Americans would be in a hopeless situation." Watch live: waysandmeans.house.gov/event/health...

Many people mistakenly believe Medicare covers all health and long-term needs. But it's actually Medicaid that funds most long-term care. Medicaid also covers services that Medicare doesn’t: 🚙 Transportation to appointments 🦼 Special equipment like motorized wheelchairs 🦷 Dental care 🦻🏾 Hearing care

Medicaid cuts will leave millions of Americans without adequate insurance or any coverage at all. The ripple effects extend beyond personal health—reduced Medicaid funding could trigger job losses, hospital closures, and place significant strain on the economy.

“If the cuts go through, they’ll shift costs from the federal government to the state, and ultimately, the state will shift costs to the people who can least afford them at a time when healthcare costs are already skyrocketing. We will all pay the price for these #Medicaid costs."

Medicaid serves as a vital lifeline in every corner of the country—from Alaska to West Virginia, across urban and rural areas, and in both red and blue districts.
