At CSC, we’ve embraced a unique strategy to combat caregiver challenges. Our approach emphasizes alleviating financial pressures, a critical aspect often overlooked.

Recognizing the significance of financial well-being as a cornerstone for reducing overall stress, we’ve pioneered a dedicated shopping platform exclusively for caregivers.

This platform offers everyday goods and services at reduced costs and creates pathways for caregivers to generate additional income, addressing a vital need within our community.

Vishal Patel’s life changed at 28 when a stroke left him paralyzed and unable to speak. With his soon-to-be wife Deepa, and the help of his caring family, he fought back to almost normal in five years. But then, a second, even more debilitating stroke hit him at 36, which meant Deepa and the family had to care for him, maybe forever.

Even as a trained physical therapist, Deepa struggled with the demanding parts of caregiving. They felt alone, like many caregivers do. But they learned something important: when caregivers are healthy, the people they care for do better, too.

Deepa found out she was one of 53 million caregivers in the U.S., working hard without much help or notice. Finding the proper support and tools to care for Vishal was tough, adding more stress to her life. 

Vishal saw how hard this was for Deepa and learned that more than half of caregivers just like her are struggling with money problems, feeling alone, and not knowing enough to help their loved ones the best they can.

This sparked an idea. Vishal and Deepa wanted to help caregivers feel less alone and stressed.

They created Caregiver Solutions Cooperative (CSC) to do just that. CSC is where caregivers can find help, save money, and contribute to a growing caregiver community.

Apart from doing extensive research with service and product providers that covet the caregiving community, we are blessed to have Mr. Stuart Williams of In Place Impact as a board member, our first investor, and our strategic advisor. 

This year marks 30 years since Stuart co-created the first global platform for “Making A Profit While Making A Difference.” He remains one of the world’s leading experts on helping companies match their profits with their purpose. 

With so many rare diseases and chronic conditions, we are often split into smaller groups focused on specific conditions. 

That’s why coming together is crucial. We can use our collective buying power and voices to push for fundamental, lasting changes when we join forces.

By working together, we can build strong connections with companies that want to support us. We can encourage them to offer us great value, provide helpful feedback, boost their sales, revitalize our local economy, and help them achieve their goals as good corporate citizens.

Our organization is built on the latest technology, ensuring transparency and accountability in all we do.

We use community voting to make big decisions, like choosing new features for our platform, deciding which companies to work with, and figuring out the best ways to use our funds. This ensures that our members have a say in the organization’s direction.

It’s essential to us that everyone understands this is not a multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing scheme. 

There’s no pyramid structure, no payment for bringing in new members, and no requirement for anyone to buy anything. 

We’re all about coming together for support and change. This isn’t a handout. This is a true cooperative where everyone contributes to the project’s success and has a say in its future.

CSC uses the power of its membership to negotiate low prices for the products and services our members require. 

• The providers put their products and services on our online shopping site for free.
• Each Ambassador has a unique code to share with their personal and professional networks.
• With every purchase, the buyer can use a unique code upon checkout, which tells us which Ambassador was responsible for that sale.
• The vendor pays us a commission, of which 50% is paid directly to the Ambassador.
• The store payment system is designed so the vendor and Ambassador receive their funds as soon as a purchase is finalized.
• If an Ambassador was not mentioned, the funds go into a Fund Account and will be distributed periodically through voting by the community.

Ambassadors are:

1. A caregiver to a family member with a chronic condition or a special need
2. Not paid for providing those caregiving services
3. Willing and able to socialize the existence of a shopping platform

Candidates are interviewed virtually at a convenient time. Once approved, they receive a unique code, basic training, content, and ongoing support from our team of experts.

CSC pays commissions directly to Ambassadors at the time of purchase. 

53,000,000 people in America provide unpaid care to family members with chronic conditions or special needs. 

Over 60% of those people experience financial stress, and our research has shown that they find it very appealing to save money on the products and services they need to buy. 

We cannot tell you how much money you can earn. There is no minimum or maximum. 

The math is straightforward, but the negotiated commission rates may differ for different products. 

As an example, on the lower side, let’s pick a rate of 5%. Every $1,000 shoppers spend using your code will earn you $50.

So, let’s say you have ten people using your code, and they spend an average of $200 monthly. That would be $2,000 monthly in sales, providing you with a $100 commission each month.

Yes. You will receive the commissions every time a customer uses your code to buy something.

Our research has shown anywhere from 5-40% depending upon the product or service you wish to purchase. 

We strive to get the best deals for the community, and as we grow, our buying power will enable us to make even better deals over time.
