Taking a break is caregiving, too.
You've earned a break. It might already be paid for.

Free for families. No login needed to check.

Respite funding already exists. Families rarely use it. They don't know it's there, and it feels easier to do it all yourself than to explain everything.
Handoff keeps what you know, so someone you trust can step in.
How it works
Three small steps to a real break.
Step 1
Check your coverage.
Answer a few plain questions. See what respite funding you may qualify for.
Step 2
Choose your person.
A neighbor, a cousin, a church friend. Someone you already trust. We help you ask.
Step 3
Take your break.
They get a clear brief and get paid. You get a warm report after. And some rest.
No app, no login
The person stepping in just opens a text link.
You approve everything
Nothing is shared until you say so.
Families pay nothing
Funding programs pay for verified visits. Your helper gets paid.
