unpaid caregivers

Unpaid caregivers are individuals who provide essential support to friends, family members, or others with health challenges or disabilities without receiving financial compensation. This includes tasks like helping with daily activities, managing medications, providing emotional support, and assisting with transportation. Often, unpaid caregivers are family members or friends who take on these responsibilities out of concern and commitment, balancing this role alongside their own work and personal lives. Their contribution is vital, as it helps loved ones maintain independence and well-being, and it often fills gaps in formal healthcare services.
