Allison Breininger is a mom, teacher, and primary caregiver to her husband living with a genetic disorder. In the latter role, Allison has discovered the spectrum of needs there are for caregivers, and it's quite likely any of us will find ourselves in her shoes somewhere in our lives. Therefore, it's important to understand how others in our community can provide support. Do not ask 'how can I help?'. This adds one more task. Offer to bring a meal, and a day to do so. If there are kids, offer to take them to practices. Offer time to provide respite to the caregiver. This is such a huge and important topic, at all times of the year, not just the holiday season; an opportunity for us to consider how we might give some loving and priceless gifts.
