What we do

Help for caregivers, in days instead of months

Fluttering Wings helps family members who are caring for a loved one with a life-threatening illness get quick access to a mental health counselor, at no cost to them.

Who we help

Family caregivers of someone with a life-threatening illness, including loved ones in palliative or hospice care. We're starting in Western New York and Rochester, New York.

How it works

We're a new 501(c)(3) and we're building our first program now. Our goal is simple: when a caregiver needs to talk to someone, they shouldn't wait months. We find them a licensed counselor quickly and help cover the cost of their appointments.

Where the money goes

Donations fund the foundation's operating costs and directly help cover the cost of caregivers' appointments with mental health providers.

Are you a counselor, nurse or social worker?

If you see caregivers who are struggling, or you can see a caregiver quickly, we'd like to hear from you. Get in touch.
