What are you most thankful for? I’m thankful for my dad because I wouldn’t be anywhere without him. He always helped keep me on the right path while still giving me the freedom to learn and experience life on my own.
Any other personal tidbits? So when I was 6 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. And it unfortunately ended up taking her life 3 years ago after it moved to her brain. Towards the end of her life I ended up becoming somewhat of a second caregiver for her and had to help her out with a lot of things she wasn’t able to do anymore. When my mom first got diagnosed we received financial help from an organization called the Angel Foundation. Because of that I frequently volunteer with their programs to help families that have caregivers with cancer.
