00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,290
- Hello team Scott, I'm here with Malakia,

2
00:00:03,290 --> 00:00:05,780
and she is a caregiver
for this week's care event

3
00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:08,230
that we're having here
on Scott Air Force Base.

4
00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:09,730
Malakia, can you tell
us a little bit about

5
00:00:09,730 --> 00:00:11,210
the roles of a caregiver?

6
00:00:11,210 --> 00:00:13,490
- So as a caregiver, I'm here in support

7
00:00:13,490 --> 00:00:15,513
of my husband, who is a wounded warrior.

8
00:00:16,659 --> 00:00:18,610
I'm basically here just to support him.

9
00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:21,840
I encourage him, as well
as the other warriors,

10
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,820
to keep pushing and try new things.

11
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:26,780
- Mm-hmm. Now you had a great story

12
00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:29,764
about the effect that the

13
00:00:29,764 --> 00:00:33,290
Caregiver Games came to your
installation and the effect

14
00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:34,850
that it had on you and your husband.

15
00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:36,660
Can you kind of tell us
that story a little bit?

16
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:39,220
- Yeah, so we're stationed
at Ramstein Air Base,

17
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:41,530
and it was the first time
that they incorporated

18
00:00:41,530 --> 00:00:44,420
even the children into the care event.

19
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:47,190
It had a tremendous effect
on my family as a whole

20
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:49,520
because the kids got to see the things

21
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,450
that their daddy was going through.

22
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:54,530
I got to participate as well.

23
00:00:54,530 --> 00:00:55,760
They were only there for a week,

24
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,590
but when I tell you, you
make family for a lifetime.

25
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:02,320
The support and the love
they gave us was amazing.

26
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,010
It really helped us through
a very difficult time,

27
00:01:05,010 --> 00:01:07,760
so I'm very glad to be
back with them again.

28
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,090
- Ma'am, we are so glad to have you here

29
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:12,390
at Scott Air Force Base, and
we're about being connected,

30
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:15,380
and making a difference in
each and every family's life.

31
00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:16,970
Thank you for you and your team being here

32
00:01:16,970 --> 00:01:19,037
on Scott Air Force Base.
- Thank you.
