Mr.
and Mrs. Peete, better known as
Rodney Peete, NFL Football
quarterback, and Holly Robinson
Peete, actress, created the HollyRod
Foundation to give
a voice and a hand to those striving
for quality of life when theirs has
been diminished due to disease or
disorders. Through watching Holly’s
father, Matthew T. Robinson, writer,
producer and actor, struggle with
Parkinson’s disease, the Peetes were
moved to form the foundation. After
Holly and Rodney’s eldest son, RJ,
was diagnosed with autism, the
foundation’s mission expanded to
create the HollyRod4kids initiative. Holly and Rodney sat down
recently with Editor-in-Chief Gary
Barg for a wide-ranging interview
about caring for one another and
their loved ones, as well as those
in need and their family caregivers. Gary Barg: You
started HollyRod Foundation after
Holly's dad, the great Matthew
Robinson, was diagnosed with
Parkinson's disease. He was, of
course, noted for being the first
Gordon on Sesame Street and also
writer and producer of The Cosby
Show. Why did you start the
foundation? What are its
goals? Holly Robinson

facility where she is now, we are considering renting a
house near a beach or on a lake with 24-hour nursing care.
We would be more than happy to pay $3000 to $4000 (what the
facility is costing now) if we knew that our mom could look
out into this grand world to see something beautiful and
serene and allow us the "peace of mind" that there was
caregiving with her and hospice nearby when the time came.

We are wondering if other caregivers have tried
something similar. Our mother knows she needs care,
but wants to be in a place where she can enjoy her
time as much as possible while having the proper care
necessary and available.
Sincerely looking
for ideas,
Frank
