Support for Caregiver Moms Who Carry More Than Most People Can See

A simple weekly support community created by lifelong caregiver and Grant-A-Dream founder Ann Townsend — so you don’t have to do caregiving alone

If you are caring for a child with complex medical needs…

you may be carrying:
  • loneliness
  • decisions
  • exhaustion
  • fear ​
  • responsibility
  • advocating for your child when no one else understands ​
and very little support for yourself

Caregiver Essentials is here so you feel seen, supported, and never alone.
Caregiver Essentials is a simple weekly support community where caregivers can:
  • connect
  • breathe
  • learn small resilience tools you can actually use in real life
  • feel understood ​

What Members Receive

Inside Caregiver Essentials you'll receive:

  • Zoom caregiver support gatherings
  • A private caregiver Facebook community
  • Simple resilience tools you can actually use ​
  • Encouragement from someone who has lived caregiving firsthand ​
  • Connection with other Moms walking a similar journey ​

Caregiver Essentials was created by Ann Townsend

Ann is a lifelong caregiver to her daughter who has received two liver transplants

She is also the founder of Grant-A-Dream, a national non profit that provides respite getaways to parent caregivers raising children with complex medical needs

After decades supporting caregivers nationwide, she created Caregiver Essentials to offer the kind of ongoing
weekly support caregivers themselves rarely receive
This space was built by someone who understands caregiving life from the inside

Why this membership is different

Caregiver Essential was not created from theory
It was created from decades of lived caregiving experience
and years supporting parent caregivers across the country through Grant-A-Dream
This is a space designed specifically for the realities caregivers live every day
