Jeannie Mai Jenkins saw first-hand how MS affected her aunt’s ability to attend holiday events. Here’s what she suggests doing for loved ones with disabilities.
Jeannie Mai Jenkins, a TV host on syndicated talk show"The Real," kept her Aunt Linh's multiple sclerosis diagnosis a secret from her other family members, until her aunt was ready to tell them herself.
Once her family became aware of her aunt's condition, they decided to change how they approached the holidays., a new campaign that aims to provide visibility into the journeys of people living with the disease. "It was critical [and] vital that we not only were a lot more patient and empathetic, [but] to just be there," Mai Jenkins tells CNBC Make It, adding:"Particularly with somebody with MS, even if they tell you how they're feeling one day, that doesn't mean they're going to feel the same way next week, the next hour, the next holiday."
