Summary
All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome the founding members of the Caregiving Support Network as guests to the show to learn more about how they're helping to support and change lives of family caregivers.
The Caregiving Support Network was started in 2022 to lift the everyday burdens of caregiving off the shoulders of unpaid family caregivers who are struggling. This nonprofit ministry works to create a world where every caregiver feels relief from the burnout associated with caring for a loved one with a disability.
The Network helps them every step of the way on their journey, and caregivers know that they have a lifeline of support. The ultimate goal is for every caregiver to know the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, and have the hope of the Gospel in their hearts.
