FCA recently posted this article on Facebook (original article from https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ThecaregiverspaceOrg/). We received more likes and shares than any other piece we've shared on FB. We also included this powerful quote: "I have been unpaid for about 8 years now…and at 55 years old my savings [are] tapped out. It is devastating…and I am still ‪#‎caregiving‬."
