My English name is Andree Guo. I came from Shanghai and have been living with my mom since then. I came here in 1990 and have been living with my mom for many years.
I want to add that my mom was very independent before she got ill. Just think about she came to the US alone, worked here, learned English here, attended tutoring classes, and drove herself.
My name is Mi-kyung, last name Nam. I was born in Seoul, South Korea and grew up in a conservative Christian household with four older sisters and one younger brother. I moved to the United States when I was 23 and have been living here for almost 30 years now.
My name is Cherina Tinio. I am here to share the lessons learned, a daughter’s story on dementia care. I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. I am a retired registered nurse. I migrated to the United States in 1983 together with my 3 older siblings.

My name is Virgina Lorilla, but my maiden name is Virginia Lobaton. I was born in the Philippines and I grew up there. I migrated to the United States in 1981, so I think I was 23 or 24 or around that time.
Okay, so this is about my mother Toshiya Tanaguchi. She was a senior that would regularly go to Yu-Ai Kai for senior activities and then she began to live in my home after my kids were all grown up and away, and I was able to have a separate bedroom and bathroom for her.
My name is Urmila and I am from India. My husband is also from India, we are from UP (Uttar Pradesh). In 1966, he came to USA. After three to four months, I also came with my younger son. After coming here, he had a small accident of his hand.
