My HOOman left me at home to go cheer on at the game. #GOHoos

Let’s go Hoos! #thefourthside #hoos

It happened to me...it can happen to any #caregiver. We need this support. #caregiving #creditforcaring

@Citi please put me in touch with someone in your legal department by close of business July 14. Phone calls are pointless, hopefully tweets will send the message loud and clear

@Citibank checking is the worst. They locked me out of my acct for possible fraud and THEY can't figure out how to get me back in because of an issue on their end! I need to pay my #eldercare provider. The last thing I need is THIS!

When you invest your 10 minutes, you’ll be joining other advocates committed to making a difference like: @tailored_care @advocatemomdad @cathy_sikorski @grneyes5259 @BruceMcIntyre2 @karavanderpool2 Thank you for your support! /end youtu.be/3TaB_qJufgo

Last week, @karavanderpool2 shared her moments of stress when she couldn’t get the help her grandmother needs. She shares an update with me today: youtu.be/FRFxdw7Nauk

How many of the 53 million can get a break? We need pandemic-proof respite programs. Can you help? @CongressmanRaja @janschakowsky @RepUnderwood @Schneider4IL10 @RepBobbyRush @RepRobinKelly @RepChuyGarcia @RepMikeQuigley @RepCasten @RepDannyDavis /1

How many of the 53 million plus can get a break? Our tradition respite programs offered through Medicaid waiver programs, Title III and hospice had to pause because of the pandemic. @SenatorDurbin and @SenDuckworth We need pandemic-proof respite programs. /1

Today was a disaster in my #eldercare world, and many had it even worse. Our system is broken @DeniseMBrown3 is working to help. #infastructure @timkaine @MarkWarner youtu.be/qx7atRW2FRY

THANK YOU @BrigidSchulte for this piece! Ironically I just saw it today because I was taking time off work to care for my LO in the hospital. We need more pieces that shine light on this topic!

Thank you @melindagates for mentioning #eldercare as part of caregiving and gender inequality with @SavannahGuthrie! We need more of that kind of conversation!

@alexisohanian We also need more conversation around #eldercare as part of paid family leave!

#PaidFamilyLeave for all Americans! 🇺🇸

As 1 of 44 million woman providing #eldercare for a family member, keeping seniors out of hospitals and nursing homes especially during the #pandemic why are WE not also early candidates for the @vaccine? @cdc @SenatorCollins @SenatorCasey

@CDCgov I don't see family #eldercare providers listed as essential for the #vaccine. We are undocumented frontline workers!

Thank Kathy for helping me shine a light on #eldercare and career!

@HotMommasProj Thank you to the entire community of @HotMommasProj and especially @KathyKormanFrey for helping me shine a spotlight on an issue so important to me and woman across the world!

Did you know that family caregivers (largely women) provide $470 billion in unpaid care each year? Award-winning case author @karavanderpool2 shares her experience as #caregiver, marketing executive, #CEO, and advocate for #WorkingDaughtersDay #wcw hotmommasproject.com/2020/11/kara-v…

Minutes from logging on for the first-ever @workingdaughterday event. Why? Because 44 million women provide $470 billion in unpaid care - often while working full time and raising kids. @WDtweeting

"..this is not about supporting one group of workers over another. This is a call to stop ignoring a very real issue." #eldercare #callforpolicies #WorkingDaughtersDay bit.ly/3kDzLwA @WDtweeting

23 million women, known as #workingdaughters, in the U.S. are balancing #eldercare, #career, and more providing more than $470 billion in unpaid care! Care advocates @mariashriver and @LeezaGibbons will you help raise awareness for #workingdaughtersday by sharing? @WDtweeting
