* Caregiver Podcast | Dave Nassaney... The Caregiver's Caregiver.

Donna Thomson, author of the best-selling book, The Four Walls of My Freedom will be interviewed by Dave, The Caregiver’s Caregiver, this Wed. 06/17, at noon PDT. (AND AFTERWARDS, 24/7) Click here: http://tobtr.com/s/7698181.

Her book portrays the account of raising a son with cerebral palsy and her passionate appeal to change the way we think about “the good life.” Donna Thomson’s life was forever changed by her son Nicholas.

Donna gave up her career to become his primary caregiver and embarked on a second career as a disability activist, author, and consultant.

She will discuss her experience in treading delicately through daily care, emergencies, and medical bureaucracy as Donna and her family cope with her son’s condition while maintaining value and dignity.

She brilliantly demonstrates the vital contribution that people with disabilities make to our society and addresses the ethics and economics of giving and receiving care and will also discuss ways that communities can help caregivers.
