Private Bridge Support Circle

This is a private page for ‘friends & family’, who know me and the work I do; maybe you’ll see the value in what I’m building.

My family’s caregiving reality became my proof of concept; I’m raising this bridge to stabilize the immediate situation and move CustomCare into its next working phase.

I’m raising $20,000 in immediate private bridge support.

• The first goal is $10,000 over the next 72 hours.

• The second goal is another $10,000 before Mother’s Day

Why now

My parents’ care needs have increased, and the financial pressure around care has become immediate.

At the same time, the work I have been building through The Custom Family, CustomCare, and The Memory Mosaic has become more focused, more urgent, and more connected.

This is not separate from my professional life. It is the next honest extension of it.

For decades, I have helped people manage pressure, logistics, timing, emotion, trust, people, and execution. CustomCare applies that skill set to one of the hardest situations families face: caring for aging parents while trying to keep the family system from breaking down.

This private bridge will help support:

• immediate family and caregiving stability

• care-related household and administrative pressure

• the next working phase of CustomCare

• the buildout of a simple private support and intake system

• early development around The Memory Mosaic

• time and focus needed to convert the working model into real services for families

What CustomCare is

• CustomCare is a practical support system for families navigating elder care, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cognitive decline, caregiving logistics, household pressure, communication breakdowns, paperwork, and the daily complexity that falls between medical care and real life.

• It is built for the messy middle: not purely medical, not purely administrative, not therapy, not household management, but still urgent and consequential.

What The Memory Mosaic is

• The Memory Mosaic is the public creative doorway into this work.

• It is a project about memory, family, caregiving, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and the moments people hold onto when memory begins to change.

• It creates a more human entry point into the larger mission: less shame, less silence, less distance. More recognition, more conversation, more connection.

Closing: Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

I often rely on these sage words of the late, great Arthur Ashe during challenging times. Here I am, using my voice, asking for the collaboration & support necessary to help make CustomCare a reality. I’m asking directly because the moment requires it, so…

• If you can give, please give.

• If a short-term loan makes more sense, please contact me.

• If you see the larger opportunity and want to discuss advice, investment, partnership, sponsorship, or introductions, I’d love to talk.
