Respite & relief
Developing ways to help caregivers take a short break, recharge, and attend to their own needs.
Multiple myeloma · Caregiver support
A cancer diagnosis changes life for an entire family. We are building practical support for the caregivers who carry the appointments, the everyday needs, and the journey.
Our mission
Our foundation’s first focus is the people caring for loved ones with multiple myeloma. We aim to ease the practical strain so families have more room for rest, connection, and care.
Developing ways to help caregivers take a short break, recharge, and attend to their own needs.
Planning support for transportation, meals, essential household needs, and urgent caregiver expenses.
Building education and resource coordination to help families navigate the caregiving journey.
These programs are in development. Applications and assistance are not yet open.
A family’s purpose
After living with multiple myeloma for more than a decade, Alan Reeves founded the foundation with his family to support the people who walk beside patients.
Caregivers manage travel, appointments, meals, and household responsibilities—often while carrying financial strain and putting their own rest aside. Our work begins with those everyday needs.
The patient has a medical team. The caregiver deserves a support team.
