Many people would agree that taking care of the laundry is a seemingly endless and thankless task. This app may be exactly what you've been hoping for!
The mental load is a quiet, invisible burden that disproportionately affects caregivers, usually mothers, impacting their well-being, careers, and overall quality of life. It’s the hidden labor of organizing, planning, and overseeing the countless moving parts of daily existence, not only for oneself but for children, parents, and loved ones.
hampr is helping solve the mental load problem starting with one of the most intimate rooms in the house - the laundry room - to build the currency of trust needed to power households across the country. With hampr, stay-at-home parents, caregivers and retirees have the opportunity to become washrs – a steady and flexible income-generating job that helps members of their community take a break and find peace-of-mind.
hampr’s services provide a lifeline, sending a message loud and clear: it's okay to ask for help. By liberating caregivers from the constant cycle of laundry, hampr allows them to focus on what truly matters: creating precious memories with their loved ones.
In the heart of rural communities and suburban neighborhoods, hampr is fostering connection and building a peer-to-peer ecosystem where members help washrs, and washrs help members. This interconnected network seeks to transform caregiving, not as a solitary endeavor but as a collective responsibility.
In lifting the weight of the mental load, hampr seeks to bring peace, balance, and connection back into the lives of those who dedicate themselves to the care of others.
