It’s a known fact that within the family, women are the primary caregivers. But what happens when the wife is stricken with a life-threatening, life-altering chronic illness and the husband must juggle caring for her with his other responsibilities – possibly raising their children, maintaining his duties at work, as well as maintaining the household and expenses?

Thankfully, there are supportive, selfless, faithful men who care – Real Men. Men who aim to use their own experiences to help other men cope, get the help they need, and have a positive impact on the family as a whole.

…a simple rule of thumb for behavior. Ask yourself what you would want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them. – Luke 6:31

This sacred writ is the founding principle of Real Men CARE, Inc. We don’t have to imagine ourselves in the shoes of a husband caring for a chronically ill wife and wonder what type of help he may need. We all are, or have been in his shoes and understand the feelings of depression, guilt, loneliness, and even helplessness. We know that he needs love, support, genuine concern, and kindness.

We are a compassionate brotherhood of men in the community who care, and understand that when you help a real man, you help a family grow stronger.
