Perspectives S36/Ep56 Help for unpaid family caregivers

Max Mayblum is on a mission. When his aunt received a cancer diagnosis, his family moved - literally to provide her care. Max saw the impact her illness had on his family and was driven to make a difference. He thought there has to be a way for family members who provide care for loved ones to have access to some resources. He was right. Mayblum, a Emory University, Goizueta Business School graduate founded Givers because of the direct care worker shortage that exists. Givers seeks to ease that burden. His program finds state programs to hire, support and pay family caregivers. His company now employs six and has helped thousands of families. Max is part of the Forbes 30 under 30 class and he did share his plans for Givers with his aunt before her death.
