Family & Caregiving
Family does not end at the border.
Parents growing older in another country, children growing up between two cultures, weddings, births and farewells — our family programmes stand beside members through every season of life.
Caring for parents across borders
Caring for a parent from thousands of miles away is one of the hardest things a family does. Caregiving across borders connects members with care coordination, home-safety and medical-alert services, and advice on the decisions ahead.
- Care coordination across borders
- Home security and medical alert
- Long-term care options explained
Children and school
Children under eighteen are always covered free of charge. Members receive offers on school supplies, clothing and learning tools, and guides for parents navigating American schools.
Births, weddings and celebrations
Flowers, gifts and celebrations at member prices — and, through the Foundation's Life Milestones programme, help for families marking the great moments of life.
Life MilestonesWhen someone dies far from home
When a member dies far from where they were born, the family faces decisions, documents and costs at the worst possible moment. Our Consular Desk explains what to do first, and the Mutual Aid Compact allows associations to stand together for a family that cannot carry the cost alone.
- What to do in the first hours
- Repatriation of remains, step by step
- How associations help each other
Family history and memory
Genealogy and family-history tools, and memory-keeping services, help families preserve the stories that cross generations and borders.
