Because Caregivers Deserve Support Too
“A gentle reminder of your purpose and who you serve”
At the Heart of Every Caregiver’s Journey
Caring for the Caregivers
At CAREGIVING AND YOU, we believe that behind every cared-for individual is a caregiver who deserves care too.
Founded with compassion and purpose, our nonprofit organization is dedicated to supporting the often-overlooked heroes—family members, friends, and professionals who selflessly care for others every day. Whether you’re caring for an aging parent, a loved one with a disability, or someone facing chronic illness, we understand the emotional, physical, and mental toll caregiving can take.
We’re here to change that narrative.
Our organization provides education, emotional support, and community resources designed specifically for caregivers. From practical guides and workshops to peer-led support groups, we aim to equip caregivers with the knowledge and strength they need—not only to provide excellent care, but also to protect their own health and happiness.
We strive to create a welcoming, inclusive space where caregivers feel seen, heard, and supported. Because your well-being matters too.
Our Story
Born from compassion. Built for caregivers: Behind every strong caregiver is a story—of love, of sacrifice, of sleepless nights and unspoken strength. At CAREGIVING AND YOU, our story begins with those stories. The quiet ones. The unseen ones. The ones that rarely make headlines but shape lives every single day.
We saw a gap.
Caregivers—whether family members, friends, or community helpers—were doing critical work, yet often without guidance, without support, and without rest. They were showing up for others while quietly losing pieces of themselves. There was no roadmap, no community, no lifeline. Just a long journey of care, carried alone.
So we decided to change that.
🤝 What We Believe
We believe that caregiving is not just a role—it’s a human experience that deserves recognition, respect, and support.
We believe that no one should have to choose between caring for a loved one and protecting their own health or future.
We believe that community care starts with showing up for those who care.
💡 What We Do Now: Today, CAREGIVING AND YOU serves caregivers across the Bronx and beyond through:

🌱 How We Began
CAREGIVING AND YOU was founded with a simple but powerful belief: caregivers deserve care too.
What started as a local support group in the Bronx quickly grew into a movement. From living rooms to community centers, we listened to caregivers tell their stories. We heard the pain of isolation, the confusion over healthcare systems, the guilt, the exhaustion—and the love that kept them going. These voices shaped our mission.
We began offering small educational sessions, check-ins, and meetups. We created resource lists, safe spaces to vent and cry, and spaces to simply breathe. Word spread. More caregivers came. And so did the need.
That’s when we knew: this wasn’t just a service. It was a lifeline.
🧡 Why It Matters
Caregivers are the heart of countless families and communities—but they are often the ones most overlooked. Their burnout is real. Their grief is silent. Their courage is constant.
When we care for caregivers, we create ripple effects. Stronger families. Healthier communities. Kinder systems. More hope.
✨ Where We’re Headed: We’re building more than a nonprofit—we’re building a movement.
A future where every caregiver knows their value.
Where support is easy to find.
Where no one walks this path alone.
And this is just the beginning.
Together, We Care Better
Because every caregiver deserves a hand to hold
Caregiving is one of the most selfless and challenging roles a person can take on. Whether it’s done quietly in the background or around the clock without pause, caregiving requires a level of emotional strength, compassion, and resilience that often goes unnoticed—and unsupported.
At CAREGIVING AND YOU, we are here to change that.
Our organization was born from the understanding that caregivers are the silent backbone of families, healthcare systems, and communities. They give their time, their hearts, and often their health for the sake of others. But in doing so, caregivers often lose sight of their own needs. Many feel overwhelmed, isolated, or invisible. That’s why our mission isn’t just about helping people care for others—it’s about helping them care for themselves.
