💚 Meet Dan (left), who lives with dementia, his wife and primary caregiver Kay (right), and Miracle (center), one of our amazing dementia-certified caregivers.

This photo was taken during our Day of Respite Giveaway back in October 2024. Kay received 5 hours of free care for Dan, giving her the chance to enjoy a well-deserved movie night out with her son at The Alamo Drafthouse - dinner and a film included!

Meanwhile, Miracle provided compassionate care for Dan at home, giving Kay the peace of mind to truly relax.

Caregiver burnout is real, and even a few hours of respite can make a world of difference. We were honored to give this gift of rest to Kay and her family.
