Calling All Caregivers

Are you a caregiver? Are you taking care of someone who is ill or elderly? Are you helping a loved one who needs assistance with the basic daily tasks such as: grocery shopping, house cleaning, cooking, shopping, paying bills, giving medicine, toileting, bathing, dressing and eating? Do you hear yourself sometimes thinking: I love (name), but feel overwhelmed! How can I continue doing this? I need a break!

If you are feeling the emotional, physical and financial weight that sometimes accompanies the caregiving, there is hope.

St. Damian will be offering a free caregiver support group to begin in the Fall. The meetings will provide some helpful information and give you an opportunity to get the emotional support from those who are walking the same life path.

Here’s where we need your input. Please fill out the following:

□ I prefer to meet on the following day of the week ______________________

□ I prefer to meet the following time of the day ______________________

□ I can attend a meeting twice a month.

□ My name ___________________________________________________

□ I prefer to be contacted by phone ____________________________________________

□ I prefer to be contacted by email _____________________________________________
