Hi,

My name is Yardena Schwartz and I'm a digital media student at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. For my culminating project this semester, I would like to take an in-depth look at what it is like to raise children while taking care of elderly parents. I feel that this is a very under-reported struggle, and a story that I feel many could relate to and learn from. If you live in the New York City area and are interested in speaking to me about your experience as a member of the "sandwich generation," I would love to hear from you at yys2108@columbia.edu. As a multimedia journalist, my work has appeared in The New York Times, ABC News, and NBC's "Today" Show.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing your story,

Yardena Schwartz

Wow! What a wonderful idea Yardena and welcome to our cyber family. I don't fit what you are looking for but am sure many here would. Good luck with your project.
