The Caregiver Relief & Visibility Act
A national call to acknowledge and support America's family caregivers. Because behind every diagnosis is a caregiver holding it all together.
Gina Leal
Caregiver, Advocate, and Author
"I cared for my husband through years of illness. I've sat in waiting rooms, managed appointments, lifted spirits, and held onto hope while quietly losing parts of myself. Through that pain, I discovered something deeper — caregiving is not a side role. It is a cornerstone of our healthcare system."
Every day, millions of Americans provide care for a loved one battling cancer, chronic illness, disability, or age-related decline — often without compensation, support, or rest. We are exhausted. We are unseen. But we are still showing up.
