FOR DIRECT CARE KIN™
For the People Who Carry the Care Every Day.
You care because they are yours. We are here to recognize what you carry and help you find support when the system leaves a gap.
YOU BELONG HERE
Who Are Direct Care Kin™?
Direct Care Kin™ are parents, guardians, grandparents, relatives, chosen family, and trusted people who provide and carry care and hold responsibility for its continuity in everyday life.
Care Continues After Everyone Else Leaves.
A diagnosis does not always bring approval, funding, or enough help. The responsibility still remains with the person carrying the care. The Foundation exists to help fill that space with understanding, direction, and practical support.
