Because the Women Who Care Deserve Care.
We see you. The long days, the constant care, the invisible load.
Circle of Joy exists to give caregivers something rare: space to rest, reconnect, and be supported.
Through our Circle of Joy program, we provide funded Camp Joy Retreat experiences for women who give so much of themselves every day.
The REALITY
Caregivers hold everything together and too often, they do it quietly.
They manage appointments, emotions, logistics, and responsibilities that often go unseen. They show up again and again for the people who need them most. And too often, they place themselves last.
Burnout is not uncommon. Disconnection is not uncommon.
-
48% of women who identify as caregivers, are doing so on top of another full-time job, with hours that stretch well beyond what’s visible to others.
-
75% of caregivers are women.
-
The emotional toll is real. More than 33% of caregivers report high levels of stress often without the support they need.
Their own needs are often the first to be set aside, including rest, health, and time to simply breathe.
Circle of Joy exists to offer something different, a moment to pause, and a place to be held.

This IS PERSONAL
Monique cared for our mum through the long journey of dementia.
Marea has spent decades caring for her son, who lives with Down Syndrome, autism, and epilepsy.
We know the love caregiving requires. And we know the cost.
We created Circle of Joy because we believe caregivers deserve to be supported.
This IS JUST THE BEGINNING
Today, we are able to offer a limited number of spots each year.
Through Circle of Joy, we are building toward:
-
More funded retreat spots for caregivers
-
Caregiver-only retreat experiences
-
Financial support for travel and respite care
Because when a caregiver is supported, everything changes.
The impact doesn’t end at the retreat.
It ripples outward into families, relationships, and communities.
