The Dana Family Relief Foundation was created by people who understand the realities of family caregiving firsthand. We know that caregivers often carry significant financial responsibilities while putting their own needs last. That's why our Foundation focuses on something many organizations do not provide: direct financial support for family caregivers. Through our healthcare and student loan interest assistance programs, we help address real financial challenges that can impact a caregiver's quality of life, financial stability, and future well-being.

Making an Impact Is Easy
FOR DONORS
When family caregivers face significant financial strain, the impact extends far beyond the individual caregiver.Families may struggle to maintain financial stability, caregivers may delay their own healthcare needs, and communities can lose valuable productivity when caregivers are forced to reduce work hours or leave the workforce altogether.
At the same time, family caregivers provide an extraordinary service to our nation by helping loved ones remain at home, maintain independence, and avoid or delay costly institutional care. By supporting family caregivers through meaningful financial relief, we can help strengthen families, build healthier communities, and preserve a caregiving system that millions of Americans rely upon every day.
Many caregivers reduce work hours, delay career opportunities, or use personal savings while caring for loved ones.
One in Four Family Caregivers Takes on Debt Due to Caregiving Responsibilities
Approximately 50% of family caregivers report negative financial impacts related to their caregiving responsibilities.
Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults provides care for an aging parent, spouse, family member, or loved one with an illness or disability.
The Ripple Effect of Caregiving
Family caregiving is more than a cause to me—it's a journey that has touched my life personally and shaped the mission of this foundation. Drawing from my experiences as a caregiver, educator, and professional with a background in clinical psychology,
I founded The Dana Family Relief Foundation to help strengthen the lives of family caregivers through meaningful financial support and encouragement. I'd love to share more of our story with you.
