| Description: |
In communities like California’s Antelope Valley, caregivers (especially single parents, parents of children with disabilities, and those with limited financial or social support) face significant mobility barriers. Sparse and unreliable public transit, long travel times, and the high cost of driving make it difficult to access healthcare, work, and community resources. These barriers can worsen caregiver exhaustion, distress, and social isolation and contribute to missed healthcare and family support appointments. |
