Kristen Sachs

Kristen Sachs, a caregiver to her husband Jeff, a C4 ventilator-dependent quadriplegic from a diving accident, writes about family, caregiving, and the struggles and triumphs of living with a spinal cord injury on her blog, New Dawn New Day New Life (newdawnforus.blogspot.com). Writing has been Kristen’s best form of therapy to help her deal with the stresses of caregiving. She is an active member of the online spinal cord injury community, and she is also the content manager at AbleThrive. Together, she and Jeff are raising their young daughter, Evie, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
