Fighting for Care

  How can a family caregiver look after her loved ones and herself while navigating a broken healthcare system? Renee Hanania has been advocating for her son Branden to receive care for his disability under Medicaid, piecing together a “care village” for him and his complex needs. All the while, she’s also been battling her own health concern: stage four breast cancer.  Keep up with Renee and Branden via their Facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/BrandenTheBrave/.
