Care for the Caregivers
Every day, family caregivers give everything they have — time, energy, and heart — to care for someone they love.
Your support helps them care for themselves.
Why It Matters
More than 1 in 5 U.S. adults are unpaid family caregivers — that’s roughly 53 million people.
Many provide nearly 24 hours of support each week.
61% of caregivers are women. Mass Healthy Aging Collaborative
And almost a quarter say caregiving has taken a toll on their own health.

Real Stories of Renewal
“The sauna, cold plunge, and massage combo was exactly what I needed to restore my spirit. I felt cared for and held — not just as a professional but as a person.”
— River Bryant, Caregiver Participant
“After my weekend at Caring for Parents, I felt seen for the first time. I didn’t realize how much I needed space to just breathe.”
— Seth, Family Caregiver
Our Approach
We support caregivers through three core pathways.
1. Wellness & Respite Programs
Evidence-informed experiences like massage, sauna, cold plunge, and small-group renewal sessions.
2. Education & Resources
Monthly blogs, workshops, and practical guidance on caregiver wellbeing, stress relief, and emotional resilience.
3. Community Collaboration
We partner with wellness practitioners, organizations, and local providers to expand access to care.
Transparency & Trust
We honor every dollar with care.
Caring for Parents is committed to transparency and accountability. Donations go directly toward caregiver support programs, outreach, and evaluation.
We share stories, outcomes, and program updates to demonstrate the impact of your support.
Help caregivers find their way back to balance.
Your support gives caregivers something they rarely receive: time to rest, heal, and reconnect with themselves. Together, we can strengthen families, reduce burnout, and restore wellbeing for those who give so much.
