UNITED SPINAL’S RESOURCE CENTER

TACKLES TOUGH QUESTIONS

Wes Holloway reached out to the Resource Center for help finding a personal care attendant when he moved to Washington, D.C., from Houston to pursue a Master of Fine Arts at George Washington University.

An accomplished artist, Holloway took his first year of coursework via Zoom.

But when in-person classes for his second year demanded a quick relocation adjacent to campus, the scramble was on.

Castagnino, who is based in D.C., remembers getting an email on a Friday afternoon that Holloway needed PCA help for the weekend.

“Bill and I put all ideas to work and put all hands on deck at the last minute.

I checked a Listserv for caregivers, CILs and agencies and showed Wes how to narrow a search on Care.com,” says Castagnino.
