Telling Our Story

Caregivers from across Florida share what it truly means to care for a loved one. In these videos, they reveal the everyday challenges of caregiving, including the financial strain, burnout, and emotional toll, as well as the love and resilience that keep them going. Alongside their stories, we highlight resources and policy changes needed to better support them.

We aim to uplift the voices of caregivers statewide, connect them with valuable resources, and identify policies that support their vital role.

The Financial Consequences of Caregiving
