A seat in the back row, and a $1,200 goal
Hi [First name],
Last spring, [Name] walked into our Thursday caregiver group, sat in the back, and said it was the first time in months [he/she/they] felt understood. That group still meets every week, thanks to people who gave before.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,200 to pay for 24 weekly memory cafe sessions for 12 families. Each session costs $50 for the room, coffee and activity supplies.
Giving Tuesday is next week, but you can start us off today. Early gifts build momentum for care partners who need a place to go.
