Elaine Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I wrote on another post in support of this site and all it does. I also wrote that I thought something also needs to be done for adovacay. This was in not way a criticims of this site, but only my desire that no one in the future ever have to walk in any of the same shoes we all now walk in--patient, caregiver or family member. I just hoped someone stood forward to take on the advocacy role, becuase it, too, is needed. Love you all. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Dear Elaine---- while I agree that advocacy is needed--and I do agree with your post -not everyone can be an advocate and I don't believe people should get upset with others who cannot or do not want to become an advocate ---If they wanted to, people can get involved without changing the support aspect of this board. I personally come to this board for support---and based on the time that I have, try and offer as much support as I can to others on this board that are in need of encouragement---I have also donated money, because I cannot give time. -I leave my house at 6:00 a.m. and do not return till way after 7:00 p.m. from work--- with a three to four hour exhausting commute---quite frankly, I am exhausted just trying to support myself and keep my house going ---weekends are spent doing chores---I just do not have the energy and god bless the people that do--- From your post, I don't think anyone would think you were criticizing ---and I agree that advocacy is important too-- but so is support and as you and someone else on this board pointed out---there is room for both best wishes to you- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
