"Someone Cares" provides Christian Caregiver Conferences and Resources. A ministry from the heart and soul, Someone Cares has a "mission to help churches and caregivers focus on the One who cares for them as they care for those they love."

Founded by Carmen Leal, who had been her late husband's caregiver for 12 years, the goals of "Someone Cares" include the following: (1) Serve the Caregiver, (2) Pray for the Caregiver, (3) Learn from the Caregiver, (4) Care for the Caregiver, and (5) Grieve with the Caregiver.

Carmen has authored nine books, is in demand as a speaker, and has written for many popular publications such as Guideposts.

At someonecaresonline.com you can get information about conference schedules, caregiver devotions, and information about hosting a Someone Cares Caregiver Conference where you live.

There actually will be two conferences at that time. One is the conference for caregivers and will focus on "Learning to care for the terminally, critically or chronically ill or developmentally disabled."

The other conference is a Caregiver Symposium for Church, Staff and Lay Leaders.

The website explains that fifty-four million caregivers live in the United States, and with the aging of the population that number is expected to rise.
