NEW Caregiver blog & respite program


Dear Reader,

We launched our blog and have curated a group of writers to bless you with their stories about resilience and faith. Enjoy!


I remember the night that my prayer for my mom changed from pleading for her healing to pleading for comfort and an easy death. My optimism could no longer create a convincing alternative reality to shelter in. She would not get better.

My story is not unique. Caregivers of all kinds can relate to this moment: the moment a spouse loses the ability to speak, the moment a father forgets their name, the moment a personality changes and your loved one is right in front of you but nowhere to be found. Disease and death are the reality of the broken world we live in. It shouldn’t be this way, and it won’t always be, but today it is. And it’s hard.

As a follower of Jesus, I struggled to reconcile the truth about peace that I read in my Bible with the chaos around me.

BRAND NEW

GIVE ME A BREAK PROGRAM FOR CAREGIVERS

The demands of caregiving are relentless and that’s why respite is vital for the wellbeing and longevity of Caregivers. Amidst the challenges of caregiving, a break is not just a luxury but a lifeline.

We’re excited to announce that we received a grant in partnership with AZ Complete Health!

This program is for Caregivers who reside in Phoenix and the surrounding suburbs. If that is you, take a few moments and apply today. You can also learn more by clicking here to visit our website.

If you’d like to support the Give Me a Break program, $140 gives the gift of a 4-hour break to a 24/7 Caregiver.


Thank you for praying for and supporting Makers of Care!

We could not accomplish all God has for us to do alone. I encourage you to ask Jesus how He may want you to partner with our ministry. Gifts of any size are welcome and are making an eternal impact!

Together, we can help real Caregivers run the race set before them with endurance.

We see you, we hear you, we care.

Get involved and make a difference today!
