"It took the total collapse of my health, and, for that matter, my life, for me to understand this: caring is the center of life. And caring may be the healthiest activity in life."

Years of concussions, illness, and seizures stripped away my health and my belief that I could find my way back. During one seizure in the Wallowas, Poppy, my dog, stood watch over me through the night and led me back to my son. That collapse taught me that survival is rarely solo, and that care is not what happens after medicine. It is the family member who coordinates, the friend who stays, and the team that carries hope when yours runs thin. HomeTeams was built so none of them has to carry it alone.
