God has provided an amazing team of women who care for Carly daily. However, when unexpected illness, hospital visits, or emergencies arise for Lisa and Larry, the load quickly becomes heavier — not just managing their needs, but ensuring Carly continues to have steady, familiar support. Carly thrives with consistency and familiar faces. Changes in routine or new environments can increase her anxiety, and she also manages significant reflux that can be influenced by stress. Because of this, we are hoping to build a small group of trusted friends who are willing to become familiar, steady presences in her life over time — not just emergency responders. This would not involve medical procedures or specialized nursing care. Rather, it may look like: - Being present at home while a caregiver rests or handles an emergency - Spending time with Carly (games, movies, simple activities) - Serving as an extra adult during transitions - Offering calm supervision during stressful moments Volunteers would receive basic training in safety and regulation support. We want everyone involved to feel prepared and comfortable. There is no set commitment. Even occasional availability can make a meaningful difference. Our goal is to match people with roles that feel sustainable and peaceful — not stressful. If you are interested in learning more, please let us know. Carly’s sister, Alex, will follow up with more details, provide basic training, and help determine what role might be a good fit for you. We are deeply grateful for the community that surrounds Carly.
