Nurturing Mind, Body, and Spirit

“I want to say how much it meant to have the kind of care and love I received. Living as a T2 paraplegic came with many challenges, but I never had to face them alone. Every day I was encouraged to move, to stay strong, and to push myself through 30–40 minutes of exercise that made me feel alive again. My wounds were cared for patiently and carefully, sometimes three times a day, and I always knew my health was in good hands. It wasn’t just the physical care that made the difference—it was the way I was treated. I was helped with toileting, appointments, and daily needs, but what touched me most was the dedication that went beyond the schedule. On days off, I was still looked after, still checked on, still cared for. That showed me it was never just about a paycheck—it was about genuine compassion. I didn’t just have a caregiver, I had a friend. Someone who gave me dignity, encouragement, and respect every single day. That bond will always mean the world to me.”
