Help Us Transform Caregivers-One Caregiver At A Time

Donation protected
Imagine working 24/7, caring for a loved one with no breaks, no help, and no end in sight. This is the reality for so many caregivers who sacrifice everything to support others, often at the expense of their own health and well-being.

At SHS&S, we believe no caregiver should suffer in silence. That’s why we’re launching our 60-Day Challenge to provide free services to three desperate caregivers in need of relief and support. Our innovative program is designed to show the world that caregivers need more than just respite care, they need consistent weekly, reliable support.

That is why we will give these three recipients full access to our services for free! This will include a comprehensive caregiving plan, training material to help them generate and train additional caregivers who will provide consistent breaks every week and so much more! But we can’t do it alone. That is why we are asking for your help. Your donations will directly give caregivers the support and breaks they desperately need.

To make the 60-Day Challenge a success, we need your help raising $14,000 this month to support our work. The Challenge begins when we find three caregivers that are already experiencing burnout, but by Day 60, we’ll show the world how lives can transform with our proven SHS&S Approach.

Why We Need $14,000 This Month and how your donations will help
We’re starting with a $14,000 goal to fund one month of transformative support for caregivers. Every contribution brings us closer to showing the world that caregiving relief is not only possible—it’s necessary. Your donations will help us do the following:

1. Providing Caregiver Relief – $9,000
• Pay staff to offer hands-on support to the three caregiver recipients as needed and train additional caregivers who can work 2-3 days a week to provide
consistent breaks for each recipient.
2. Raising Awareness – $1,250
• Marketing and outreach to share the results of the 60-Day Challenge and connect with caregivers in need.
3. Maintaining Operations – $750
• Essential costs: supplies, the online school, and additional support for caregivers.
4. Supporting the 60-Day Challenge – $3,000
• Sustain caregiving costs for the free services we’re offering to three recipients, to pay additional caregivers who can work (2-3 days a week, 8-10 hours each day) to ensure these recipients have consistent caregiving relief they desperately need.

What Makes the 60-Day Challenge Different?
Our 60-Day Challenge will start in just a few weeks Wednesday January 1, 2025 and end Friday February 28th. We will keep you updated in March 2025 to show the results of our findings. Our Challenge is more than just another caregiving program—it’s a revolutionary approach to solving caregiver burnout. How? By supporting the caregiver AND the person needing care together, taking both of their needs into consideration! Here’s other features
that sets us apart:

1. Free Support for Caregivers in Crisis: We will choose three recipients who are at their breaking point. By starting when they’re already experiencing burnout, we’ll demonstrate how lives can change in just 60 days with consistent caregiving relief.
2. Sustainability for Long-Term Change: Caregivers need more than sporadic respite. Through the Challenge, we’ll provide consistent breaks (2-3 days a week, 8-10 hours each day) by training additional caregivers the caregiver happens to find.
3. Proven Results: By Day 60, we’ll show the world how the SHS&S Approach to Caregiving, with—comprehensive caregiving plans, additional caregiver training, and consistent support—transforms the lives of caregivers and their families.

The Impact of Your Donation

Your contribution directly funds the 60-Day Challenge and helps us create lasting change for caregivers. That’s a total of around 4 weeks. In order to help prevent these caregivers from suffering from burnout they need consistent breaks, 2-3 days of free time for themselves EVERY WEEK! For the whole 60 Day Challenge, this is a total of 8-12 days a month x 2 months or 16 to 24 days of free time for these caregivers. In addition to helping pay for supplies and other expenses related to the Challenge, your donations can also do the following:

• $25 – This can be used to help with our overall expenses for the 60 Day Challenge.

· $50: Can not only be used for supplies and expenses, it can pay half a day of free time for these caregivers!


· $100: If an additional caregiver was paid about $12 an hour for 8-10 hours a day, did you know that this amount of donations can actually pay for a whole Day of free time for these caregivers to?!


· $500: This donation amount pays for 4-5 Free Days for these Caregivers! That’s half a month of free time to help a caregiver in crisis prevent burnout which can be life threatening to their health!

With your donations, together we can prove consistent, reliable caregiving relief is not just a dream—it’s a necessity!
