“HONORING OUR COMMITMENT: IMPROVING VA’S PROGRAM OF COMPREHENSIVE ASSISTANCE FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS” STATEMENT OF ANDREA SAWYER, DIRECTOR OF ADVOCACY FOR QUALITY OF LIFE FOUNDATION’S WOUNDED VETERAN FAMILY CARE PROGRAM, BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON VETERAN’S AFFAIRS UNITED STATES SENATE
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, my name is Andrea Sawyer, and I am an Advocacy Navigator for the Quality of Life Foundation (QoLF), a national non-profit organization founded in 2008 to address the unmet needs of caregivers, children and family members of those who have been wounded, ill, or injured serving this nation. As you know, over the years, legislation and policy with respect to caregivers has fortunately evolved. Congress passed the VA MISSION Act of 2018 which made substantial changes to the original Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC).
