Care with Bianca

05/07/2026

Today's life lesson... I am beautifully human, and I make mistakes that pave the way for growth. The perfectionist in me is learning to gently accept this truth, even when it's hard to swallow.

Especially when the trauma-informed care advocate and survivor in me wants to whisper cruel criticisms like "You should have known better" or "You were too quick to judge" or "You should have done a more thorough assessment." But the reality is this... I made a decision based on the information I had at the time, with the best intentions.

I suspected someone was under the influence, but it turned out they were living with a traumatic brain injury - a humbling reminder of the complexities of human experience.

And honestly, this realization hit me hard. Not because I don't care, but because I care deeply, and when you pour your heart into your work, mistakes can feel heavy. So here is the truth: I misjudged a situation, I made a mistake, and I am still a good human being and a compassionate professional.

Trauma-informed care isn't about perfection; it's about being open, reflective, accountable, and willing to learn from our mistakes. I am not a trauma-informed care robot; I am a human being, and human beings grow and learn in real time.

Trauma "treatment" that forces a survivor to tell or relive their trauma in ways or on a timetable that is not chosen by the survivor, that the survivor is not in control of, or that serves the agenda, needs, or preferences of anyone but the survivor, is not ethical or effective.

It’s been 5 days since surgery.

First — $3,236 has been raised so far. I need to say that out loud because it matters. That number represents people stepping in. It represents care. And it has already made a real difference.

He’s still in the hospital. During surgery there was a cardiac event, and doctors have since identified an issue with his heart that will likely need some form of intervention. What that looks like isn’t decided yet — he met with a new cardiologist today for a more in-depth conversation. No final decisions have been made.

He’s stable. He’s being monitored. But this has added another layer to the recovery.

With the possibility of further cardiac treatment on top of brain surgery recovery, the financial picture may shift beyond what we originally expected.

If you’ve already donated — thank you. Truly. You’ve helped carry this in a very tangible way.

If you’ve been considering it, this is a meaningful moment to step in. Even small contributions matter more than you think. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing the link helps widen the circle.

We’re grateful. We’re hopeful. And we’re taking this one conversation, one appointment, one day at a time.

Thank you for continuing to stand with him. 🤍
