Marjorie shares her story and tips for communicating with her father, whose brain aneurysm and stroke left him unable to read or write.


DeFannie Davis
DeFannie Davis of Detroit has found taking care of her husband and two children is a continuous struggle to cover too many needs with too little money, too little time and a dwindling store of energy.

Lisa Young
Lisa Young lives in Pasadena, Md., with her husband Tim and their three children. In March 2003, her father, Charles Kleff, had a stroke at age 68. The other Kleff children live out of state, and Lisa works as a licensed Health Aide in a local hospital, so her family turned to her for help.
