Eva Looper Gantala, Writer

I have a passion for working with people who care for those who are in need of some assistance to live a quality life and pursue their dreams and goals. I take care of my son, Mike. As the mother of an adult I want his dreams to come true and I make it my responsibility to figure out how to make that happen for him. I love hearing other caregiver’s stories about how they care for their clients and help them live a quality life and pursue their dreams. And I love writing their stories to share with everyone.
