I was a full-time caregiver for my father (he recently passed away). I have lots of experience caregiving since i've worked in caregiving roles for the last 2 years or so with dev. disabled clients. I've also taught a special needs class at my old high school. I would love to start or find others interested in doing a DIY caregiving zine or resource packet. I know there are lots of punks and activists out there that are involved in similar work and sharing ideas and strategies is essential. I also like Dune and Twin Peaks a lot. And i'm moving somewhere exciting in the future. Probably a nation's capital on the east coast.
