In Karen’s words

“The hardest part wasn’t the disease. It was feeling invisible.”

The legacy is built, in part, to make sure caregivers are seen. If you’re caring for someone right now, we see you. The work you’re doing is love made visible. We’re here to help.

If there’s a resource we should add to this page, please let us know.
