As if caregiving failed to bring enough stress, also holding down a job piles on more challenges . An astonishing 47% of family caregivers are also in the work-force. Furthermore, adding the heartache of caregiving to an unpleasant job can be soul-crushing to a caregiver.
First-Time Listener Discovers A Way To Share Hope With A Neighbor In a Dark Place
In North Carolina, a listener’s talked to a network affiliate after hearing our show for family caregivers.
“A neighbor we know currently cares for an extremely sick husband. But we’re doubly concerned for her because she also works as a clerk in an adult book store.”
After listening to the show, they reached out to the neighbor by giving her a copy of my book, HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER.
“I read the book first to make sure it provided real help to her, while also effectively sharing the Gospel. This book and the show gave me an opportunity to offer real hope to her.”
As a caregiver, this neighbor clearly held a great deal of love in her heart, but lives in a dark place ─ personally, as well as professionally.
Standing With Hope’s caregiver ministry is committed to strengthening family caregivers and equipping them with proven help, while pointing them to Christ. Not only do we offer resources that help start a conversation, we’re able to connect to others who may be difficult to reach… particularly those in dark places.
