Who We Are
Millions of Youth and Hidden Responsibility
An estimated 5.4 million children and adolescents in the United States act as caregivers for a family member living with an illness, disability, or other chronic condition. These incredible young people often face their challenges in silence, navigating immense pressures that can impact their mental health, schoolwork, and future opportunities. Their strength is immense, but they should not have to do it alone. We are here to change that.”
