The Haq Family Foundation was established at the behest of Karen Haq. For years, Karen was a caregiver for both of her parents. In 2018, Karen herself was diagnosed with colon cancer, and she died just months later.
In her final days, Karen talked to six close friends about using her inheritance to create a foundation bearing her family name. Today, these friends serve as the board of directors for the Haq Family Foundation. As Karen wished, the foundation supports three primary causes: animal welfare, to honor her mother’s love of animals; engineering scholarships, recognizing her father and his career; and respite care for family caregivers, an interest Karen developed after her own experiences as a caregiver.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Haq Family Foundation, Songs & Smiles is giving away helpful resources to family caregivers all across the United States. These resources will provide hope, encouragement, and comfort to many caregivers.
Helpful Books for Caregivers
If you are a caregiver living in the United States, we want to mail you a free book. Please see Helpful Books for Caregivers for available titles.
Thanks to the generosity of the Haq Family Foundation, we also distribute free books to caregivers we meet at conferences and events.
For Those Who Cannot Afford Our Magazines
The Haq Family Foundation is also supporting the distribution of Joyful Memories, our dementia-friendly magazine.
If you are a caregiver who is currently unable to afford to purchase magazines, we want to give you two copies at no charge. (All costs, including shipping, are covered by the Haq Family Foundation.)
