Our Mission

Our mission is to provide “a little bit of happiness” by recognizing & rewarding kids age 18 and younger who are currently caretaking for a family member with Alzheimer’s, or any other equally devastating condition in their homes.​

GOALS:

1. Recognition of Kid Caretakers

​The goal is to influence and encourage you, The Community, Doctors, Health Policy Legislators, Local Schools, State Board of Education Organizations, Independent Schools, and Religious Institutions to recognize, support, and reward children who are or have been youth caretakers in their homes during their elementary, middle or high school years.

2. ​Fuel Awareness

​A lot of kids are in this situation, and they are not alone. The article page proves it. Parents can use this to help communicate effectively with school, teachers or others. The articles help people understand a bunch of things about the impact on children who have caretaking responsibilities. 

3. Provide Resources for Parents & Kids

• A letter you can use to send to your school if you are a parent of a kid caretaker.
• A list of legitimate / non advertising based / real people and orgnaizations working on child caretaking issues in the United States.
• ​Prayers - a legitimate resource.

4. Advocacy

​We Advocate For:

• Updated National and International data of youth caregiving statistics
• Service Learning Hour Credit for Kid Caretakers
• PTSD studies, support and outcomes of Kid Caretakers
• Special designations or points for college applications for Kid Caretakers
• Work with local and national organizations to advocate for families and figure out more ways to help kids who are in similar situations - school age children living with an Alzheimer's patient or the equivalent.
