Bill 118 HRES 1591, also known as the "National Family Caregivers Month" bill, aims to recognize the month of November 2024 as a time to honor and appreciate the hard work and dedication of family caregivers across the United States. These caregivers play a crucial role in providing support and assistance to their loved ones who may be elderly, disabled, or chronically ill.
The bill highlights the sacrifices and challenges that family caregivers face on a daily basis, often juggling multiple responsibilities and putting their own needs aside to care for others. It acknowledges the emotional, physical, and financial strain that caregiving can place on individuals and families, and seeks to raise awareness about the importance of supporting and recognizing the efforts of these unsung heroes.
By designating November 2024 as "National Family Caregivers Month," the bill aims to promote education and resources for caregivers, as well as advocate for policies that support their well-being and provide them with the tools and assistance they need to continue their vital work. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and appreciating the contributions of family caregivers, and encourages communities to come together to show their gratitude and support for these individuals who play such a crucial role in our society.
