On this episode of Raising Rare we talk with one of Kevin’s old colleagues, Vik Sharma. Vik is the father of two wonderful children Lily and Mira; Mira was born nonverbal and non-ambulatory due to Cerebral Palsy. Vik talks with our hosts about the importance of patience, the reality of impatience, and how humbling being a caregiver really is. As a seasoned caregiver, Vik discusses the importance of trial and error, mixing new technology with old, and simply finding what works best for your family in each situation.
In his years of caregiving Vik has come to understand the stresses and burdens of caregiving and is now working to help reduce that burden. Vik has created an app, that will hopefully be launching by the end of the year, called MiraKare which will help caregivers track and better understand how environment, people, and all of the other day to day factors are affecting the person being cared for. We are all on board with the importance of an app that works for caregivers without adding to the burdens they already face and cannot wait to see the impact that MiraKare has on some of the hardest, most invisible work that we do.
