What you can do with donation
young carers and young adult carers
to live their dreams
and move on with their lives.
I can’t study because I always need to look after my grandmother who has dementia.
I’m always the "first sister" taking care of siblings with disabilities.
I can never relax. I have no time that isn’t dedicated to caring for my family.
Every day, I listen to my depressed mother crying, saying she wants to die.
I was young, and anxiously worrying about what to do if my mom died.
There are many children and young adults who, as they take care of their families, put their own lifestyles and lives on hold, and struggle alone even though they have many worries. We want children and young adults to take back who they once were, and to live while having hopes and dreams. You can support these children and young adults who care for their families through your donations.
