A Delicate Dance: Receiving & Giving Care with Stacy Shewey, Founder & CEO of Hands 4Life Inc.

Did you know that 70% of the world's aging population lives in economically developing countries? My guest today is Stacy Shewey, the founder and CEO of Hands 4Life Inc. This non-profit serves developing nations by pairing orphan children with orphan seniors to create a beautiful new family. Stacy felt called to bring hope and support by creating intergenerational homes, and providing community outreach and education. Hands 4Life is shining a light on the need for care, housing, education, and support by partnering with the local community and industry leaders.

Thank you, Stacy, for being the hands of love and bringing hope and support to those that need it most. Thank you for sharing so vulnerably with us about loss, grief, receiving care, and being a caregiver.

I'm honored to support a grandparent with Hands 4Life. It's been a gift to me to share video messages and resources. Join me in supporting Hands 4Life!

About Stacy Shewey & Hands4Life

Stacy is an entrepreneur who built a successful hospitality company where she owned and operated hotel properties, freelanced as a hotel feasibility consultant and was a consultant/investor on a 60M resort start-up. She served as an Executive Director of an assisted living and memory care community, where she gained experience in the senior living industry. She is a visionary who takes ideas and brings them to life.

After being in the senior living and hospitality industry for my whole career, I felt called to take my experiences and knowledge and serve those in developing nations. We all know we are in an aging crisis in the US, but few realize we are in a global aging crisis where there is no plan to care for the vulnerable and forgotten senior population. It was with this revelation Hands 4Life was born.
