Over the years, siblings have told us how much they depend on and appreciate quality caregivers who really care about their brothers and sisters. So, in 2009, we developed two Sibling’s Choice awards to acknowledge and honor caregivers across Wisconsin who do an outstanding job of promoting the independence and quality of life of a person with a disability. Nominations are only accepted from brothers or sisters of individuals with disabilities.
This year Wisconsin siblings honored 3 caregivers with the Sibling’s Choice Award, including:
Anika Lisowe, age 9, nominated Sara Wipperman
Sara Wipperman, New Holstein, WI received a 2019 WisconSibs Sibling’s Choice Family Caregiver Award. Sara cares for Wyatt, a young boy with disabilities and was nominated by Wyatt’s sister, Anika. “I nominated Sara because she helps us a lot,” said Anika Lisowe, 9, a fourth grader at New Holstein Elementary School.
Annabelle Busch, age 13, nominated Andrene Busch
Todd Steven & Associates with Phillip nominated by his sister, Christiana Yablonowski (not pictured)
Siblings of any age can nominate caregivers, either family or professional. Winners are announced at the annual Celebrate Sisterhood luncheon held in October in Appleton.
