In her early twenties, her employer gave her the opportunity to move to England and help set up an office there, where she lived for forty-one years. She met Paul, and their relationship lasted for eight years when he died at the age of forty-two as a result of his alcohol addiction. After his death, Carol realized there was very little support for those in a similar situation as hers. She was determined to offer help so no one had to suffer the isolation that she felt. Carol founded a charity, Footprints, that offered support (not judgment) to those whose lives were affected by someone’s addiction. She worked with local agencies, was a carer’s representative, and often worked one to one with families. In 2010, Carol returned to the United States and now resides in Minnesota.voir moins
