On February 3, 2014 the following was posted on CareGiving.com a site I am involved with and a organization I have personally donated to and have seen the benefits it gives to those who receive even a gift this small.

“Two Fundraisers to Raise Money to Embrace Family Caregivers

                                                                                               February 3, 2014

Our non-profit organization, The Center for Family Caregivers, works to embrace, employ and empower family caregivers.

As part of our Empower initiative, we send $500 to a family caregiver in need as often as we can through our CareGifters program. To date, we’ve sent $500 to 11 family caregivers. We want to continue to help as often as we can.

To help raise money for our CareGifters program, we’ve got two fundraisers happening.

You know Casandra, who cares for her husband, through her blog. She also received CareGifters funds last year. To help us continue to help family caregivers, Casandra created bracelets, including the one pictured, which you can buy at her online store. I love the bracelet I purchased from Casandra during our Craft Fair.

Casandra will donate a portion of the proceeds made from any sales to our CareGifters program. When you make your purchase, you have the option to “Leave ComicVixen Designs a note…” during check-out. In your note, please mention CareGiving.com and this code: CARE10.

2. Thirty-One Gifts

Thanks so much to Casandra and Brittany for their generous offers to help us help you. And, thanks so much for your purchases!
