At just four years old, my first encounter with a newborn was a profound experience, as my brother with cerebral palsy became my first living doll. This unique bond taught me invaluable lessons in empathy and patience, as I navigated the challenges that came our way. I discovered the power of humor, finding light in difficult moments, and it shaped my understanding of love and resilience. Those early experiences laid the foundation for my appreciation of life's complexities and the strength that comes from caring for others.
I am currently assisting OCCP (Operation Child Care Project) Military families face immense challenges, from frequent relocations to extended separations. One of the most critical and pressing issues is access to affordable, high quality child care. The Operation Child Care Project addresses this need by providing life-changing support to military families through tailored child care solutions, advocacy and education.
OCCP are currently currently looking for Homefront Helpers in two test sites in FL and CO, go to www.OCCProject.org for more information on how to help or become a trusted caregiver.
