Caring for a loved one shouldn’t cost you your own life. Too often, it does.
The relentless stress, isolation, and physical toll of caregiving are pushing people to the brink, with real consequences for their health, longevity, and well-being.
This is not just a personal struggle. It’s a public health crisis hiding in plain sight. At Leeza’s Care Connection, founded by Leeza Gibbons, we do more than offer support—we intervene.
We provide a lifeline at the moment caregivers are most at risk of losing themselves under the weight of it all. A place to be seen, restored, and sustained. Because no one should have to sacrifice their own life to care for someone they love.
Founded in 2002 to honor Leeza’s mother’s journey with Alzheimer’s, our work has grown into a national network of support for caregivers and families navigating health crises. We offer free programs and resources, including personalized guidance, support groups, education, and respite opportunities, ensuring caregivers have the support they need to care for their loved ones and themselves.
Your support makes this possible. Every donation helps us provide these services at no cost to the families who need them most.
Caregivers don’t just tell us this works. They feel it.

As my mother’s caregiver, I want to give her the best care possible, and LCC has helped guide us on her dementia journey with invaluable resources, information, tools, and a compassionate community that allows her to continue living with joy and dignity. We feel incredibly blessed to be part of the LCC family. Not all angels have wings, and Leeza’s Care Connection is proof. Their compassion and support make a meaningful difference for caregivers and families like mine.”
