About

In 2019, I lost both of my parents within one month of each other, a devastating time that left me completely exhausted. Caregiving is honorable, but it can take almost everything out of you—physically, emotionally, mentally, financially… and, yes, even spiritually.

For years, my father had been my mother’s caregiver. I supported them from a distance, helping manage their bills and other responsibilities. Then one night, my brother called and said, “Audrey, you’ve got to do something. Dad hasn’t slept in three nights because Mom keeps turning on the lights and rummaging around the bedroom.”

That was the moment everything changed. I stepped in more fully to care for them both. I was pulled even deeper into responsibility—trying to figure out what needed to be done and how to do it. I found myself untangling health, financial, and estate matters that had never been truly discussed, organized, or completed. And this was all while facing end-of-life decisions I didn’t feel prepared to make. And then one day, my father, who had been relatively healthy most of his life, had a stroke, causing his health to decline seemingly overnight. The demands of caregiving intensified for me. After taking care of her for years, he passed first.

It took time...years to process everything and find clarity. But years later, I began to realize that my family’s experience wasn’t unique—it’s the reality for so many families.

That’s when I made a decision: no one should have to go through that kind of experience alone.

That’s how The Caregiver Link was born.

My Story

The Vision

We envision a world where family caregivers are not invisible, unsupported, or forced to navigate crisis alone.

In this world, caregivers are recognized early, guided clearly, and supported consistently - not only in moments of emergency, but throughout the full arc of their journey. They have access to understandable information, compassionate systems, and communities that acknowledge both the responsibility they carry and the emotional cost of carrying it. Caregiving is no longer isolating or reactive, but sustainable, respected, and grounded in dignity.
