Hi! I’m Rena! I was a family caregiver for well over 10 years to my mom who had Alz & Metastatic Breast Cancer.

As with most caregivers, I’m also a wife, mom, grandmother, sister, friend and web designer.

I lost my mom on Jan 15, 2019, and now I’m trying to figure out what the rest of my life will look like.

This space is dedicated to all of the unpaid family caregivers. The world would stop spinning without you! It is also dedicated to the beautiful men & women who live with Alz every single day. You are always in my prayers.
