By BiancaA

Not only is Bal Jagat - Children’s World Inc. run by a team that is professional, trustworthy and ethical, most importantly, their number one priority is the children they are helping. They truly care about the families they serve and hope to stay in touch long after an adoption is completed. I have had the privilege of witnessing first hand how this non-profit works to change lives by bringing together forever families and would highly recommend this agency to anyone interested in international adoption. ...read more

A guaranteed check from the federal government?

Residential rentals are on the rise for 10 major cities in the Western region, and Southern California urban centers are prime on the lists. Yet, housing starts are not meeting demand because of costs, and still, there is a sizable inventory in the secondary market.  Huge homelessness population and affordability issues are major culprits.  It is a cancer that just don't seem to go into remission.  But, what if our federal government may begin to think outside of the provincial "box," and develop an ideal that could jump start urban regional economy centers, and motivate real estate developers and banks to modify, adjust and cut housing start-up costs and rents?  Sounds too good to be true.  Not really. What if HUD, FHA, and the VA were to engage in a joint partnership with the general public (limited to single and multi-family dwelling owners in urban centers, by soliciting and offering an agreement to rent out extra rooms, or bedrooms for a fee subsidy to "qualified" homeless citizens that have been background cleared? Now days, we require less space to live in, due to technology have made things smaller; social and family networks have diminished.  The "traditional" family setting have now become a statistical "minority" throughout America.  Single, head-of-households dominates our social landscape.  I believe that if the Federal Government were to establish such a program, its ultimate intended purpose would compel banks and real estate residential developers to adapt, by building smaller, more functional multifamily housing starts throughout urban centers.  Thereby, it would gradually or incrementally drive down rents and residential mortgages, provided we include and utilize existing available, unused rooms of single family dwellings in the overall equation. Tell me what do you think?  I believe that we need to get a national dialogue going on this subject matter.  Please help me to get it started.  Tweet, retweet, facebook, copy and paste, what ever it take to get this message and topic off and running.  ...read more

Plead with your aging parent(s) to discuss their end-of-life plans

As a 56 year old, I am almost routinely hearing about a friend or an acquaintance whom lost a love one, after battling a long and debilitating chronic illness, before passing on. I implore you to do what ever it takes and urge your aging loved one to openly discuss and implement plans for their declining years and end-of-life care, even if it may not include you.  I am so painfully reminded by the stories where as family caregivers, we fail to ask the hard questions to an aging parent's personal business affairs; however, the many personal experiences I've encounter, to  hearing story after another painful story from friends, I am reminded to never be shy about inquiring about details with end-of-life planning.  Procrastinating or avoiding the inevitable can and will soon cost you great personal hardship from a significant loss in time, to money and personal health sacrifices.  And if there are siblings involved; you can never prepare enough for this unpredictable fall-out that usually results in some very hard range of feelings when sibling rivalry raises its ugly head.  When do you discuss these personal and financial issues with your aging parent or loved one?  First, you will need to have some kind of working relationship with your loved one.  Next, timing is everything.  Select the most ideal time when your loved one seems to be feeling fairly well, both physically, and cognitively.  Further, do a self-check; are you feeling well enough to initiate a well meaning and respectful conversation?  If you are unable or feel that you cannot discuss personal business issues with your loved; my recommendation would be to enlist the support of a professional third-party, such as a "Patient or Health Care Advocate" through a non-profit organization.  For a nominal fee, the Health Care Advocate is competent to: Ask the right questions Conduct an "Activities-of-daily-living assessment." Complete an Advance Directive; Prepare other related documents Articulate the necessity to Prepare an appropriate Estate Planning document. Articulate real-life stories of individuals whom failed to plan, but are now unable to communicate their wishes to health care practitioners, and their loved ones have no legal authority to do so. Inform the loved one about State and Federal Government laws about time-sensitive rules concerning those who are medicare and medicaid beneficiaries. Finally, if you, the reader are age fifty-five and older, then by all means, please be immediately and seriously take the aforementioned advice, by contacting a Health Care Advocate through a non-profit organization.  Or, you are more that welcome to contact:  Van Elder at:  (888) 668-5051. If your company or group of at least 12 wish to invite me as a speaker on Estate and end-of-life planning, please contact: California Council of Service Advocates, Inc. http://www.cacsadvocates.org.  or postmaster@cacsadvocates.org.  There is a twenty-one (21) day advance notice is required. ...read more
