“Caring for the Caregiver”

    At RavenCareWear, we not only see the disabled and special needs, but we also see the caregiver. My cousin and Founder, GG, and I know and understand the caregiver journey because we have lived it. We are you. GG and I are first cousins, the daughters of identical twins. We have a lot in common because we share the same DNA, but we also have a lot in common outside of that. We have spent a significant portion of our lives as caregivers and, at times, giving care to more than one person at a time.

    GG cared for her special needs daughter, Raven, for 27 years, the last of which overlapped with caring for her dad, who had been diagnosed with cancer. After Raven passed, her mom's health started to decline, so she took care of both parents. After her dad passed away, her mom's health quickly began to deteriorate, and she moved in and cared for her until the end.

   I cared for a special needs loved one for 22 years, and 12 of those years overlapped with caring for my husband, who was critically ill with congestive heart failure. He lived with an LVAD for five and half years until he received heart and kidney transplants.

   So, here at RavenCareWear, our purpose is twofold: designing t-shirts that will be a voice for the special needs and disabled community and for those who love them and creating a place where you can feel free to open up and share your stories and feelings about your journey as a caregiver.
