The audience sprang to its feet in applause after a middle schooler described how she helps care for her little sister, who has cerebral palsy. ‘Eva needs extra help showering, and I put her to bed,’ 13-year-old Ali Enlow said at the American Association of Caregiving Youth’s annual event. ‘I love caregiving so much … and I love sharing my story.’ This is Ali’s second year with the Boca Raton-based nonprofit, which serves more than 500 youths who care for family members at home. She and other honorees were presented with trophies and received standing ovations.
