Every day, 40 million people assist others with their daily tasks.
Family caregivers are our friends, neighbors, and relatives who assist their parents, grandparents, children, etc. with various activities. This can include dressing them, feeding them, bathing them, and taking care of their even more basic necessities that we can take for granted.
The respective financial impact of the unpaid labor from family caregivers is estimated to be about $470 billion per year. Furthermore, family caregivers are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and other chronic illnesses than non-caregivers.
Your donation will give back to each of the family caregivers and the devoted time and effort put into helping their loved ones.

Carletta Cole, the founder of "Caregiver Safe Place," is a compassionate and dedicated individual who established the organization with a deeply personal motivation. Her inspiration stems from the profound love and care she provided to her own mother. Witnessing the challenges and emotional toll that caregiving can impose, Carletta recognized the need for a support system for caregivers. "Caregiver Safe Place" thus emerged as a haven for those navigating the demanding role of caregiving, driven by a genuine commitment to their loved ones, can find solace and assistance in their caregiving journey.
