California Caregiver Movement

Caring for California’s Caregivers.

Supporting the essential workers who dedicate their lives to caring for others — yet often struggle in silence.

Caregivers Give Everything. Who Supports Them?

Caregivers are the backbone of California’s In-Home, ARF, and RCFE systems. They provide daily assistance, compassion, life-changing support, and care to seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those in crucial need.

Yet many caregivers earn between $20,000–$38,000 per year — often living paycheck to paycheck while performing some of the most demanding work in our communities.

Caregivers often commit years of their lives to one client — being on call, working long hours, and sacrificing holidays and personal time.

When a long-term client passes away, many caregivers suddenly face unemployment while waiting for reassignment. During that gap, they may struggle to pay:

They care for everyone — but no one is caring for them.

That’s where we step in.

Meet Maria

Stories of Strength and Support

Maria cared for the same client for four years. She missed holidays and family gatherings to ensure her client was safe and comfortable.

When her client passed away, Maria faced sudden unemployment while waiting for reassignment. Rent was due. Her car needed repairs. Groceries were running low.

A donated grocery and gas card gave her breathing room during that transition.

Why It Matters

Caregivers dedicate their lives to providing compassionate support that enhances the quality of life for elders and those in need. They are the quiet heroes of our communities — often unseen, under-supported, and carrying immense responsibility with love and dignity. Their dedication helps families stay connected, strengthens communities, and allows those they care for to live with greater comfort, independence, and ease. Yet behind this selfless work, many caregivers face daily challenges including financial strain, physical and emotional exhaustion, and limited access to resources and support. That’s why our mission matters. With your support, we can provide caregivers and elders with the assistance, compassion, and community they deserve — because no one should have to carry this journey alone.
