For Neighbors in Action, we talk with Mother Teresa House founder Karen Bussey about helping people facing serious health issues.

Facing a terminal illness is hard on everyone involved, and when you or a loved one need full-time care and can’t afford it, it adds stress to the equation. Mother Teresa House in Lansing is a home that exists to provide care and a place to stay for those who have terminal illnesses and are in hospice care but cannot afford around-the-clock attention.

For Neighbors in Action this week, with talk with the founder of Mother Teresa House, Karen Bussey.
