AACY is committed to building national awareness of the millions of children in the U.S. who provide care for family members. That is why we are spotlighting a new resource by Omarion Calloway, More Than Survival: A Guideline for Young Caregivers.
At just ten years old, Omarion was caring for his grandmother and uncle. In his new guide, he blends his personal story with practical advice for kids facing similar responsibilities. Omarion’s words are powerful, honest, and deeply relatable for anyone who has lived this reality.
The experiences of young people like Omarion are helping to shape a growing national conversation about Caregiving Youth. Each voice adds strength and urgency to the recognition and support these children deserve.
