Vacca Associates Family Checks 'n Balances A Bit of My Story......and Why I Do What I Do

I am a people person....love people....of all ages!! An interesting combination, and one I have loved. Why?

V***a Associates Family Checks n’ Balances is your personal concierge... budgeting/bill pay, transport/coordination of medical/dental appointments, housing moves, garage/estate sales, being an advocate - whatever daily life involves! So, it came as no surprise when I found myself working with both teenagers and older adults! They are so much alike in my mind....exploring, interesting, testing the

patience of many, challenging preconceived ideas, great adapters, unpredictable and incredibly loving and caring. My career path took me into aging and healthcare...and youth ministry! In aging and healthcare, I have spent decades working directly with older adults and their families, designing new programs for an aging population, training healthcare and social service professionals on aging issues, leading retirement planning seminars, and advocating on legislation impacting older adults. I also became involved in the financial services industry as a licensed insurance agent and securities licensed advisor (my securities license I have let go of so I can do my current work). In youth ministry, I have worked with hundreds of teens, young adults and their families, teaching and training, mentoring, supporting and housing, and putting my counseling training to good use. Through all of my experiences, I have realized that I like solving problems, being an advocate and mediator, and dealing with whatever need to be done. To help make life a bit easier, less confusing and complicated, relieving the stress of being overwhelmed so many family caregivers experience and letting family be "family" and not having to be the 'pro' in the many aspects of aging-related issues and concerns. I often tell people, .."I am just a 'life manager. Whatever life throws at you, I can help manage and I can walk the journey with you to help in anyway I can." So, my work is all about....YOU!! I am here to make your life run easier and smoother....from getting the things done that need doing each day to planning ahead for the unknown future. And, I have a number of trusted colleagues I work with to ensure that you get the right input, insight and understanding so you can make the best informed decisions for you and your loved ones.

It isn't just a day off from work....it's a day to remember and to not just dream but to live in a way to make Dr King's dream our reality.

Here's a story of a father's love....after church, I helped a 86 year Dad put his 62 year daughter into a memory care facility. He has cared for her for over 10 years as she began to experience early onset dementia. Last year, her aphasia (lack of word formation) got much worse. Where I had been able to talk in short 3 word sentences with her....it was gone. It's been a rough year.

This Dad has been a caregiver all his life...a brother with Downs Syndrome, parents that needed him, a wife who lost her battle with cancer 10 years ago this month, a son who went down the addiction path (hopefully, cleaned up now and will stay that way ).

Today was brutal....as he and his son were in tears as they left her....she being angry, mad, and even with her inability to form words they knew she was cursing them...because she doesn't understand (of course).

Through the heaviness of this day, through trying to support this family....I am amazed at this 86 year Dad and his extreme love he showered on his daughter over 10+ years as he watched her decline....on the heels of losing his wife.

To all the Dads (and those Moms having to be both parents) who have met unbearable challenges as they have raised their children....just know it doesn't go unnoticed.

May God give you grace, strength and courage...may you find a place of peace and comfort knowing you have done an incredible, outstanding job....you have done the very best you could do....and overcame so much.

Be blessed this Father's Day....and thank you for loving your kids through thick and thin (as they used to say). ❤️❤️❤️
