WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP FINANCIALLY?
If you’ve ever been a caregiver, you know how difficult that job can be, and how much you wished for help that may not have come. That’ kind of help is what Caring For The Caregiver is here to provide – so if you’d consider contributing to our program, here’s the story.
For the past 2 years, Caring for the Caregiver has been supported by public funding and 100 hours a week of volunteer elbow grease (figure 5,000 hours per year!). We have had great hands-on support from the St. Bede’s Bishop’s Committee in Syosset, and major funding from Episcopal Charities of Long Island.
We received $20,000 in grants last year from 3 different sources and we were able to set up 5 different locations where our Caring For the Caregiving program has been introduced and currently running now. We’re supporting Long Island caregivers, week in and week out with our Caring and Healing Circles. We’ve applied to many more charitable organizations recently. Our mission – every caregiver on Long Island within 30 minutes of a Caregiver program! If we can fulfill our 2012 mission we can come pretty close with a total of 15 Long Island locations.
If you’d like to fund our entire program of 10 more Caregiver Fairs and Caring Circles on Long Island in 2012, we’ll need $40,000. Five more is $20,000, 1 additional location is $4,000. And you can help us select the location.
Or, we’ll acclaim you as SUPER-HERO! Ffor a donation of $1,000, HERO for $500, GREAT HUMAN BEING for $100.
Finally, we’ll say THANK YOU, VERY MUCH for whatever you give.
If you’re ready to act now, call me, Roger Schilling, at 516 747-6525 and I’ll come and pick up your check. Or click on the Click & Pledge Widget just below. It will take your name and address, your credit card information and your money!

Many thanks for your attention.
