Where your donation goes

01

The technology

Hosting, AI infrastructure, and the tools that make a caregiver's knowledge queryable by the carers who follow.

02

The interviews

Working with trained professionals to capture the knowledge that journals alone can't — the deep, structured understanding of who someone is.

03

Family scholarships

Making Next of Kin accessible to families who need it most, regardless of their ability to pay.

Why this matters

Next of Kin started with one mother and one son. Evelyn has cared for Ben for 38 years. She knows what his words really mean, what makes him light up, what every new carer gets wrong at first.

One day she won't be there. And when that day comes, the people who care for Ben will need more than a medical file. They'll need to know who he is.

That's what your donation builds — a way to carry a caregiver's knowledge forward, so the care doesn't start from zero.
