Empowering Caregivers with Resources and Support

Our Story

Founder, Kevin Saunders is a Baltimore, MD, native and one of five siblings. Kevin was raised by his biological Aunt and Uncle from the age of 9 and quickly learned the importance of taking care of those in your family through their formidable example. Kevin has spent over 25 years of his professional career working in the financial sector of the healthcare industry. In 2017, Kevin’s personal caregiving journey began when his cousin (their daughter) was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It was during this time that he commuted from North Carolina to Baltimore to take care of his then elderly Aunt and Uncle. After her unfortunate passing, Kevin became the primary full-time caregiver of his Aunt, who had onset Alzheimer’s/Dementia and at the same time, his Uncle was suffering from heart failure and additional chronic health conditions. In 2019, they both passed away just three weeks apart. Throughout these years and firsthand experience of caregiving demands, a perplexing benefit system, and mental health distress, it became clear that this was not just a temporary duty—this was his purpose, and that he truly wanted to help others for the rest of his life. Out of giving, loving, and caring, the Caregiver Community was founded in 2020.
