A letter to Caregivers
"Caregiving is not easy, and I wish more people knew that it is a full-time, around-the-clock job, every single day."
I was hooked on this letter, from The mighty, after reading this sentence.
Many of you know that we are a family owned business. The owners are husband and wife, who started BFA LLC. accessible home modifications company out of a need for accessible home modifications, for their daughter with Cerebral Palsy. The owners are also caregivers for their daughter.
Accessible Home modifications help people with disabilities have a better quality of life with the independence and safety they provide, but it helps the caregivers as well! Transferring is easier AND safer for the caregiver as well, when they are in a barrier free space.

As I read this article, I could relate. I imagine some of you can as well.
This letter is from one mom caregiver to another:
"I completely understand what it’s like to devote your life to care for someone else and neglect your own needs. It started taking a toll on me. You helped me recognize that it is good — and at times necessary — to let people in and accept help."
"I learned that asking for help doesn’t make me any less of a mother or a caregiver.
As caregivers, we need to nourish ourselves."
The writer also reminds us...
"It’s in everyone’s best interest that I’m the best version of myself, so that I can help my son live a successful and healthy life."
Caregivers are the glue that keep us together and going.
The team at BFA LLC. is dedicated to enhancing our clients quality of life. We are passionate about accessibility solutions. We live in a home that is completely accessible, so we use the services and products that we provide our clients, everyday.
