The Day1Father Caregiver Fund
WHY THIS EXISTS
I became a caregiver at 11 years old.
For 15 years, I took care of my mom during her dialysis treatment while society told me to "stay positive," "be strong," and "count my blessings."
I know what it's like to be exhausted, overwhelmed, and gaslit with toxic positivity when what you actually need is HELP.
That's why Day1Father isn't just apparel. It's action.
WHAT IS THE DAY1FATHER CAREGIVER FUND?
A portion of every Day1Father purchase goes directly into the Day1Father Caregiver Fund real support for exhausted caregivers who need actual help, not inspirational quotes.
No applications. No bureaucracy. No fake positivity.
Just direct support for caregivers in crisis.
WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW
We're building this from the ground up. Transparent. Honest. Together.
CURRENT FUND BALANCE
FIRST GOAL
Every product sold adds to direct cash assistance for caregivers in crisis.
When we hit $500, we help our first caregiver.
When we hit $1,000, we help our second.
When we hit $5,000, we've helped ten caregivers survive another month.
HOW IT WORKS:
- You buy from Day1Father
- A portion of that purchase goes to the Fund
- We find caregivers in crisis through Reddit, social media, and direct outreach
- We help them. No applications. No waiting. Just help.
TRANSPARENCY:
We'll update this page monthly with:
- How much we've raised
- How many caregivers we've helped
- Where the money went
No secrets. No hiding. Just truth.
WHAT THE FUND SUPPORTS
Emergency Respite Care
For caregivers who are burning out and need a break but can't afford it.
Young Caregiver Support
For people who became caregivers as kids or teens and are still carrying that weight.
Dialysis Caregiver Assistance
For families navigating the exhausting reality of dialysis care.
Direct Financial Help
Gas money. Groceries. Bills. Whatever helps a caregiver survive another month.
WHY WE DO THIS
Because 75% of family caregivers receive ZERO respite care.
Because 1 in 5 caregivers can't afford food for themselves.
Because society would rather tell you to "stay strong" than fix the broken system.
Because caregivers don't need better coping skills they need systemic change. And until we get that change, they need direct support.
