HAVE YOU EVER HAD SOMEONE HELP YOU THAT YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW?

Stopping to help a stranded motorist usually results in good feelings all around. Now imagine if your “pay it forward” gift could actually better someone’s life, when they need it most.

EMBRACE LIFE
At Sheltering Arms Senior Services, we encourage seniors to embrace life with programs such as Home Care services, and a Dementia Care Day Center that provide seniors something they cherish – living safely and independently in their own homes. Family caregivers benefit from knowing their loved ones are constantly surrounded by our compassionate, well-trained staff. Peace of mind, whether for a few hours, days or months, is the best gift of all when it comes to the care of your parent, spouse or other loved ones. Why should you care? Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., and an astonishing 50% of caregivers die before the person they care for.

EMBRACE GIVING
As you consider end of year giving opportunities, consider the difference a gift to Sheltering Arms could make for someone
like 48-year old, Joanne S. A single nurse in career transition, she lives with her elderly, dementia-stricken mother in order to make ends meet. The average caregiver is a 48-year old female. The four hours, twice a week, that her mom spends at our adult day center, allow Joanne to look for a new job, and enjoy “alone” time. We offer scholarships and reduced fees to needy clients
made possible through charitable donations. While the economy has scaled back corporate donations, your gift could help strangers like Joanne.

REASONS TO GIVE

Your support goes a long way towards helping many seniors in the Greater Houston area.
