RESPIRO: Casa Abuelita

A restorative respite experience for Latina mothers caring for children with disabilities.

A place to rest, reconnect, and remember:
Caregivers deserve care, too.

Solo respira... Hoy será mi día de paz.

WHY IT MATTERS

Many mothers spend years:

  • Advocating for their children
  • Navigating complex systems
  • Managing emotional and physical exhaustion
  • Caring for everyone except themselves

Casa Abuelita gives them permission to pause.
