Introduction & Welcome to iCARE Stack
For & By People who CARE. Being Human & The Rollercoasters of Life.
Hello Dear Reader! A special welcome to our new Carer Mentor community members!
Thank you for spending some of your precious time and energy reading this article.
I’m Victoria. You can read why I’m publishing Carer Mentor here: Who Started Carer Mentor and Why?
You’ll find iCARE Stack in the top line menu of the Carer Mentor’s homepage:

The iCARE Stack: Indexes, Spotlight and Anthologies.
The Carer Mentor publication aims to support the person behind the caregiving. When we support the needs of the person giving the care, we’re enabling the best support for the person they care for. We’re also dispelling the myth that carers are superhuman. Caregivers are imperfect, fallible and mortal, just like any other human!
The publication also focuses on supporting anyone with a chronic illness, condition or disability.
When someone has a health crisis or is living with a chronic condition, many, if not all, aspects of their life and relationships can be affected.
I hope that curating anthologies of lived experiences can offer any reader a dynamic way to explore other people’s insights and find resonance.
The litany of health issues that my Father suffered constitutes the content agenda, and recently, with the passing of a very good friend, the emphasis is on Cancer.
The iCARE Stack Vision
A reliable Go-To Hub. A portal to other authors/writers/creators’ publications focused on caregiving or to creators who share their experience as part of their wider portfolio content. I curate the indexes and anthologies, so you don’t have to spend your precious time and energy scrolling or searching.
I curate the information based on my personal experience and journey—what I would have wanted to read. It will never be a complete compendium, but it’s a great starting point when you have limited time! A portal of hope and community networking support!
“There are only four kinds of people in the world–those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
- Rosalynn Carter Former First Lady of the United States -
Remember, there is no right or wrong way to give or receive care. We are ALL perfectly imperfect humans trying our best each day.
Let’s share some empathy, inspiration, and network support.
It’s so easy to feel alone when we’re suffering a chronic condition or caring for someone. You are not alone.
I hope something in this stack will resonate.
