My name is Patrice Marie White, I’m from the UK.
I am a former fulltime caregiver for my late mother.
The other day, I was guided to draw something in a childlike way that illustrates and depicts a scenario faced, both as an adult caregiver and as a child caregiver.

It’s so hard
And at the end of the day when your job is done and your health goes arye SSI says 6our not disabled enough!
Being a young caregiver myself meant it ended my life.
I gave up on my hopes and dreams.
I’m just surviving day after day while making sure my mom is cared for.
Thank you!!!
