Lara Garey comforts her husband Tom in 2019. Tom served in the Air Force from 1989-1996 and was diagnosed with service related ALS in 2016.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Lara Garey s daily responsibilities as her husband s primary caregiver left little time for her to focus on anything else.
Garey s husband Tom is an Air Force veteran who was diagnosed in 2016 with service-related ALS. Though Lara relied on support from family and friends near their Austin, Texas home, some days felt overwhelming. Caregiving for me, because of Tom s high level disability, is, Am I going to get a shower today? Am I going to get to sit down and actually drink a hot cup of coffee? she said.
