Caregiver Support Champion

Kimberly Dean, MS is the heart and soul behind Raising Raisins, a caregiver support organization born from her own journey of caring for her aging parents. With a Master’s degree in Human Services Administration and years of real-world caregiving experience, Kimberly combines professional insight with personal compassion to uplift and empower caregivers.

After navigating the emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges of caregiving firsthand, Kimberly recognized a deep need for community, encouragement, and practical resources for those walking a similar path. She founded Raising Raisins to be a beacon of light—offering not just tools and information, but a true sense of belonging.

Kimberly believes that caregiving is a sacred labor of love. Through Raising Raisins, she is committed to helping caregivers feel seen, supported, and strengthened as they continue their selfless journeys. Guided by faith, compassion, and resilience, Kimberly walks alongside caregivers every step of the way—proving that no one has to do this alone.

When she’s not leading support groups, developing caregiver resources, or speaking at community events, Kimberly finds joy in spending time with her beloved Chihuahuas, nurturing friendships that feel like family, and living out her mission of service to the community with heart and purpose, values she proudly upholds as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
