About How Are You Mom
How Are You Mom was born from a simple truth: caring for an aging parent is very hard, and you shouldn't have to do it alone.
The "how are you?" that started it all
It started with a phone call. The kind where you ask "How are you, mom?" and then realize the answer is more complicated than you expected.
Suddenly you're navigating doctors appointments, difficult conversations, and the guilt of never feeling like you're doing enough. Sound familiar?
We created How Are You Mom because we've been there. We know what it's like to lie awake at 3am wondering if you made the right decision. We know the loneliness of being surrounded by people who may not get it.
And we know how powerful it is to connect finally with people who do.
Stephen Kong
Founder & Facilitator
Stephen started How Are You Mom after his own experience caring for his mom. What began as a personal journey through the challenges of caregiving became a mission to help others feel less alone.
