Hi John, As we take time to celebrate National Family Caregivers Month, I’m also thinking of the immense and often invisible hardships that caregivers and families have faced this year.

We’ve endured endless waitlists for home and community-based care, paid out of pocket for unaffordable child care or aging care, and made the impossible choice between staying employed or caring for the people we love. These are not isolated struggles; they are daily realities that weigh heavily on millions of us across the country.

But through these hardships, we have shown the country what resilience looks like—and what it looks like to build networks that catch us when we fall.

Whether it’s the neighbor who drops off dinner after surgery, the grandparents who step in for child care support when Mom and Dad have to stay late at work, or the communities who pool together resources after a disaster, caregivers and care recipients are already showing us the blueprint of what a more supportive and connected society can look like.

These moments remind us that hardship and hope live side-by-side— that even in moments of scarcity and strain, there is profound creativity, resourcefulness, and love in how we care for one another.

This National Family Caregivers Month, we commit to carrying forward a vision of what's possible: A future where care is recognized as our shared investment, and where every act of caregiving contributes to a legacy of interdependence, dignity, and belonging for generations to come.

Do you have someone in your care community—a family member, a neighbor, a colleague— who wants to be part of building a better future for care? Forward this email or share this link to encourage your community to sign up for updates and ways to get involved. [[link removed]]

Together, we’ll build a more caring future.

In solidarity,
