In 2020, Ashley, our founder, finally had an opportunity to focus on her passion projects, and she reacquainted herself with what brought her true joy in life. Only then did Ashley realize she did not feel like she was following her life’s mission, so she decided to take action. This is how The Janice Hart Foundation was born!

Ashley kept her plans to herself for some time, not knowing if it would be something her community truly needed. However, in June 2022, she listened to nudges of her intuition, leaned into the work, and did not let fear stop her from creating a space she knew would help serve so many people in the community. Ashley has been well aware that caregivers were not receiving the care and support they desperately and deservingly needed. Giving back to caregivers who give so much to the ones they love became Ashley’s primary focus and mission, especially since this topic hits close to home for her.

So, where does The Janice Hart Foundation name come from, and why did Ashley start it? Ashley’s Grandma’s name is Janice! Her Grandma became a caregiver for Ashley’s Grandpa, Denver, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s when she was in middle school. Janice was the sole caretaker of her Grandpa, and Ashley witnessed the struggles her Grandma went through as a result.

In January 2021, Ashley’s Grandma was unfortunately diagnosed with colon cancer, which spread to her stomach. Ashley’s Aunt became her sole caregiver while working full-time, dealing with a pandemic, and taking her Grandma to and from doctor appointments. Ashley, now an adult, became fully aware of caregivers’ struggles and witnessed once more the essential missing piece; a community for caregivers.

In March 2022, Ashley’s Grandma passed from cancer, and she misses her dearly every single day, but she knows her Grandma is inspiring her to do this work and cheering her on from above. In honor of Grandma Janice, Ashley created this community for caregivers so you, too feel supported and nurtured the way you support and nurture your loved ones in their greatest time of need.
