- Our Goal
Minimize Dementia Caregiver Burnout, Keeping Loved Ones At Home Longer
Live-in dementia caregivers dedicate their hearts, time, and energy to caring for their loved ones, yet many face overwhelming challenges. Unable to qualify for government caregiver programs, many struggle with out-of-pocket respite care and counseling costs. Those caring for individuals with young-onset dementia face even greater strain, as most resources are designed for older adults. No one should feel alone in this journey. We are here to close the financial gap, offering the support they need to persevere, find relief, and create cherished memories together at home.
$127,750
Private nursing home room costs about $127,750 annually.
54,000
Assisted living costs about $54,000 annually.
The U.S. is confronting a caregiving health crisis as dementia cases surge. In just six years, cases are projected to rise from 6.9 million to 10.5 million, with early-onset dementia cases tripling. Families are struggling, and caregivers are overwhelmed. Now more than ever, they need our support. The time to act is now!
Home together.
Wellness Matters!
Caregivers are the heart of dementia care, giving their all to support their loved ones—but the emotional and physical toll can be exhausting. Without relief, burnout sets in, making it harder to keep going. Counseling and respite care offer a lifeline, providing the support they need to recharge, feel seen, and continue their vital role with strength and compassion.
Raise Funds for Counseling
Counseling can help reduce anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation, which are common among dementia caregivers.
82% of caregivers report high stress from their duties. Additionally, 40-70% experience significant symptoms of depression—2 to 3 times more than non-caregivers.
- Goal $50,000
Raise funds for Respite Care
Respite care can significantly influence how long a dementia caregiver is able to keep their loved one at home.
Chronic stress can harm the immune system, disrupt sleep, and trigger anxiety and depression. Respite care gives caregivers the time to prioritize their well-being, leading to better overall health.
- Goal $50,000
Raise funds for Awareness
Awareness campaigns inspire action from communities and policymakers, paving the way for improved caregiver benefits.
By educating the public, these campaigns encourage local involvement, fostering stronger support networks through volunteer programs, financial assistance, and advocacy initiatives.
