Care Crisis: Fair Pay, Respect & Support for Carers - through Digital Care Rewards

The Issue

Support us achieve fairer remuneration, respect and respite for carers, families, and those cared for, through community action and capturing and sharing the harvested value in our digital care.

My mother became partially paralyzed due to surgical error. She was cared for by professional and family carers. I witnessed the struggles they faced, especially as local services like lunch clubs were shut down.

The invaluable support of carers often goes underappreciated,  whilst the wealthy capitalize on the value carers generate with their digital care activities. It's time to change this exploitative digital 'feudal style' system.

The care system is broken, and the excuse of insufficient funds to invest in care is misleading. There is money available, but the will to allocate it to care is lacking. Governments allow data harvesting contrary to GDPR, and the value generated does not return to those involved in care. Meanwhile, tech giants and online retailers profit massively from care related activities, yet distribute rewards mostly to their stakeholders, whilst often paying minimal taxes through avoidance schemes.  Governments heavily tax the 'have nots' whilst enabling the wealthy to reduce their liabilities through creative accounting.

Imagine a world where those cared for, at home and in care homes, their carers, and families, face less financial and emotional hardships. Their current lack of support is a burden we can no longer ignore.

Around the 1900s, Friendly Societies provided financial support during unemployment illness and death. Members paid into a communal fund used to assist those in need. Meetings took place in pubs, fostering community and mutual responsibility. Their ethos emphasised brotherly support and collective welfare. There was no corruption. Within a few years, 40% of the Western working class was supported in this manner. But Government legislation shut them in favour of todays centralised systems.

Inspired by this decentralised approach to community support, we've self-funded building a self-sustaining community platform for care, that benefits its members financially from their use of its free apps, and that aims to have the power to lobby for change. By capturing the value of carers daily digital care and online activities and redistributing it as a passively earned tokenised income, ReMeLife provides a Universal Care Income (UCI) and empowers improving lives. Now, we need your support to grow the community and complete ReMeLife's AI4U app component of the ecosystem.

It's infuriating that today's emerging tech tends to benefit the wealthy while those most in need suffer. The rapid pace of change means we must mobilize now to demand what is right. If we don't act, the opportunities for positive tech enabled change will slip away, and society will become increasingly centralized and authoritarian. Your support today can make a real difference.

62% of the world is involved in caring for someone. Let's together capture the value in digital care actions, and convert it into tangible financial appreciation of our carers and families. Let's move towards a more equitable care world.

If the Government will not/cannot help, then let's ourselves support the unsung heroes of the caregiving world.
