Name: Candice
Location: Mecklenburg County, NC
Candice is a mother of three. She works from home as a freelancer, and taking care of her 23 year-old son who has been diagnosed with autism, epilepsy, and kidney disease. Because she and her husband are self-employed contractors, they frequently do not have health insurance. Mrs. Grant is a kidney transplant survivor herself, and has to take medication for the rest of her life. Her family often finds that they struggle to afford that life-saving care out-of-pocket.
“It matters to me in such an incredible sense that caregivers are made whole, so that they can be there for their children.”
