OUR STORY: INSPIRED BY LOVE. BUILT FOR CAREGIVERS.

In 2020, our founder, Ashley Durovic (Hart), finally had the time and space to reconnect with her purpose. After years of quietly carrying the weight of what she had seen—and deeply felt—she recognized a calling she could no longer ignore. That calling was to create a space for caregivers, the often-overlooked heroes of our communities.

For a while, Ashley kept her vision close to her heart. Would others understand the need? Would anyone show up? But in June 2022, she stopped waiting for the “right time” and started building what she wished had existed for her own family: a compassionate, connected, empowering place for caregivers.

This work is personal.

Ashley watched her grandmother, Janice, become a full-time caregiver for her husband—Ashley’s grandfather—after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Years later, Ashley’s aunt took on the role of caregiver for Janice during her battle with colon cancer, all while working full-time and managing life during a pandemic.

Ashley witnessed the toll caregiving takes. The isolation. The exhaustion. The love. And the heartbreaking absence of resources or community. When her grandmother passed in March 2022, Ashley knew it was time to turn grief into purpose.

So she founded The Janice Hart Foundation—named in honor of her beloved grandmother—to give back to the caregivers who give so much of themselves every day.

Today, The Janice Hart Foundation exists to do what caregivers so rarely have time to do for themselves: receive care. We provide support, education, mental health resources, and advocacy for caregivers—especially those caring for loved ones with progressive and chronic conditions.

To our sponsors, community leaders, and caregivers:
This isn’t just a mission. It’s a movement.

We invite you to stand with us—to fund, uplift, and walk alongside those who care without pause.

Welcome to The Janice Hart Foundation family. We’re honored to have you here.
