Commitment to Caregiving Award 2018

Winner: Laura Bernal
Laura cared for her 87-year-old mother who suffered from memory loss since 2012, and worked fulltime while raising a family. At the beginning Laura often felt frustrated and at a loss while caregiving. In 2017 Laura became a CRC client and through this process was able to understand her mother’s illness and gained the skills to provide the best care for her. Laura is thankful for all the resources and friends she has built along the way. The process has helped her learn how to cope while caregiving .
