National Caregiving Foundation

“There are only four kinds of people in this world.  Those who have been caregivers, those who are caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.” 

Rosalynn Carter, Former First Lady

SCAM ALERT!

It has come to our attention that our foundation name is being used to perpetrate a scam on the internet and email.  The criminals will promise to send money to help you out in some way.   Then they send a look-alike bank check for more than they promised and have you send the extra money to another needy person by Western Union.  Of course, the bank check they sent you turns out to be fake and they now have your Western Union money.  Another twist is they will want a pre-payment processing fee to send you a check.  Please be alert to these scams and report them to your Attorney General's Office.                                 

In 2008 the foundation added a program called Care for Our Wounded Soldiers to support families caring for returning wounded soldiers who face unique caregiving situations.

This Caregiver’s Support Kit® is dedicated to all the American military men and women who have served our country during armed conflicts.  The National Caregiving Foundation extends to them our deepest thanks and respect for the sacrifice that they have made to defend our freedom and to keep us safe.

It is our most fervent wish that this Caregiver’s Support Kit® will help families resume loving, caring relationships, managing their injuries and stresses while adjusting to life after their service. The kit includes the following chapters:
