New Blood Entry — Noah the Hidden Helper
Award: Yellow Pencil
21GRAMS / 2022
When we think of caregivers, children are not the first thing that comes to mind. But there are at least 1.4 million child caregivers in the US alone. Most of these children are invisible, and don’t even know they are caregivers because they have internalized their role. This damages their childhood.
Noah, a new Disney Short, aims to shine a light on the existence of these hidden helpers and help them realize who they are so they can ask for the help they need. Noah will become a symbol for child caregivers and will be supported by the Hidden Helpers Club, a worldwide network of friends bringing all the child caregivers together.
