VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FOR CAREGIVER RESPITE CAUSE
Assistance is necessary for an updated vehicle with the technology proper for a safe, reliable use in all commutes. The funds will be used in order to secure a new vehicle for replacement to continue the mission of serving others in work, the faith community, and society.
This will allow Bob to continue networking in promoting the cause of a chapter he authored. ( A volunteer contribution of time, no financial compensation.) It focuses on the topic of respite (Wellness Tourism) for those caring for a loved one.
Respite Tourism for Family Caregivers
Robert Holda (Independent Respite Care Specialist, USA)
Abstract
One of the most misunderstood and unappreciated segments of society in relation to medical tourism is the family caregiver; those caring for a loved one who sacrifice their own employment schedule, their personal time for relaxing and recreation, and often and importantly their own health. The purpose of this chapter is to raise awareness of the plight of family caregivers as an issue for medical tourism, the effects of stress and burnout, and the essential need for respite of body, mind, and spirit for these central assistants in the matter of healthcare for patients. Though healthcare and its subset, medical tourism, are frequently perceived as focused on a “patient”, they also encompass many other individuals and organizations. As addressed here, the focus is on the family member caring for a loved one. The intent is to link the concept of medical tourism as an avenue for relaxation and respite to enhance the wellness of this specific target market.
Your support in this effort is greatly appreciated, and will be a blessing as the journey continues to reach out to others. Thanks, too , for sharing with connections in your social media.
