Born from Experience. Built for Change.
This isn’t just a company. It’s a lifeline—for caregivers, by a caregiver.Respitely™ is the World’s First CareGifting™ Marketplace—founded in the U.S. to address the caregiver crisis, now growing into a global movement to make care giftable, accessible, and deeply human. It was built from real caregiving journeys—the stress, the burnout, and the love that keeps families going. We know what it takes because we've lived it.
That's why 1% of every contribution goes to the Respitely Care Impact Program™ (RCIP),
funding relief and support for caregivers and families in need.
The Caregiving Crisis No One Talks About
We’re not asking for sympathy - we're creating a solution. Respitely is
the world's first CareGifting™ Marketplace, built to support families and empower
caregivers. Instead of struggling alone, families can now gift trusted care as easily as
sending flowers, a meal or a ride. Every care partner in our network is carefully vetted
to deliver quality, reliable support everyone deserves.

A New Way to Give and Receive Care
Respitely™ is reimagining how care is given—and how it’s accessed.We’re building the first platform where anyone – anywhere - can gift care to someone who needs it. Whether it's a family caregiver burning out, a friend recovering from surgery, or a neighbor quietly struggling, Respitely™ lets you send real, tangible care - not just thoughts and prayers. Each gift funds direct access to vetted, trusted providers through our centralized care marketplace, delivering relief, dignity, and peace of mind when it matters most. It’s care, made shareable—because care should care for everyone.
— Laura A Williams Founder of Respitely™
What We’re Building
Caregiving isn’t supposed to break you...
That’s why we created Respitely™ - The World’s First CareGifting™ Marketplace that makes care giftable. In just a few clicks, anyone can send meaningful support:
- To a caregiver running on empty
- A loved one recovering from surgery
- Or someone silently shouldering the load
Each gift unlocks booked hours of trusted care through the Respitely Care Network™—our thoroughly vetted community of professional providers.
That care might look like:
- Meal prep and light housekeeping
- Companionship visits
- Help with mobility or post-op recovery
- Or just a few hours of quiet relief while someone else steps in
This isn’t a favor. It’s not charity. It’s an oxygen mask - a gift that gives people space to breathe, rest, and keep going. Because care should care for everyone.
— Laura A Williams, Founder of Respitely™
