SomeOne Cares Christian Caregiver Conference and Resources

Learning to Ask, Thankful to Receive
A Conference for Christian Caregivers
October 26 – 28, 2007

"Anyone who provides assistance to someone else who is in some degree incapacitated and needs help: a husband who has suffered a stroke; a wife with Parkinson's disease; a mother-in-law with cancer; a grandfather with Alzheimer's disease; a son with traumatic brain injury from a car accident; a child with muscular dystrophy; a friend with AIDS." —Family Caregiver Alliance

Fifty-four million caregivers live in the United States and, with an aging population, the numbers are growing. If you are caring for someone you love in your home, in partnership with a care facility, or even from long distance, this is a must attend conference.
