Frequency Illusion

Frequency Illusion, a writer with a background in independent bookstores, documents their experience as a caregiver for their husband following his devastating strokes in 2019. Their Patreon, launched in August 2016, provides a unique and deeply personal window into the realities of long-term caregiving. With nearly 100 paid patrons and a growing community of over 120 members, Frequency Illusion has created a space for shared experience, empathy, and connection within the often-isolating world of caregiving. The honest and vulnerable writing explores the emotional, physical, and logistical challenges, offering a compelling narrative beyond typical media portrayals. While the estimated monthly earnings are modest ($100-$10,000), the Patreon's sustained growth over several years reflects the profound resonance of Frequency Illusion's storytelling and the value the community places on their work.
