My son 24 had ADHD and was a handful! My other son suffered a traumatic brain injury at birth resulting in severe disabilities, seizures,& cerebral palsy. He required 24/7 total care. He was non ambulatory, non verbal, had a trach, oxygen, g-tube (also at other points had J-tube and button.) I took care of him at home alone.(My husband passed away when my son was 2) On Jan 4, 2010 my son passed away suddenly. He was 19. My world and heart was broken in a million pieces. My heart hurts every day from missing him. I would love to help out a special needs family because I know how stressful it can get and sometimes you just need a break. I would offer my help so you might get out for an hour or for a few hours. I moved to Bentonville about a year ago from Chicago when my husband took a job with Walmart. I have the time and I have a lot of love & experience to offer. I'd love to meet your family and see if I would fit your needs. I am very familiar with doing just about anything.

    Mary has had experience with a severely handicapped child for 20 years. She has a heart of gold and gave the most wonderful care to her son. I've never seen such faith and dedication. She is a very special person!
