Goal:
Make 40 more caregiver support stories possible by raising $30,000! We'll share a toast and the stories of caregivers toiling away for months and years in the shadows of their caregetters. We believe every caregiver we are honored to serve has a compelling story and we are honored that our honorees for this campaign are allowing us to share their stories with you.

Allison has been caregiver to her husband, Sean, since 2011, when he was diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia. High school sweethearts, the two had been married for 9 years at the time of diagnosis, and had brought their toddler, Maya, home from Haiti, just one year earlier. Allison has been by Sean’s side through a bone marrow transplant, seven different types of cancer, a hip replacement, among other things. She writes honestly and openly about the challenges and realities of being a caregiver at her website The Negative Space.
