2 There With Care News • Summer 2010 • therewithcare.org the care begins with you

For our families , the care that they receive truly begins with you. When you make a financial contribution, your single act of kindness triggers a series of events that allow our volunteers to provide direct care to There With Care families each day.

I have had the privilege to meet many of the families we serve at There With Care. The families share their gratitude for the services they receive and they also share their appreciation for the one-on-one care that is provided to them. Because of your help, they know they are not alone during a frightening time.

Your generosity enables us to continue to deliver hot meals, groceries, diapers, car seats and so much more. Our deliveries almost always end with a heartfelt hug between the volunteer and the family member. These hugs are also from you , the donor. You make it all happen, and our families thank you so much for your gift of care.

In gratitude for your continued support , “Call it accident or providence, our meeting has been more fortuitous for me than anyone else. I have Dana Bacardi discovered that giving yields an unanticipated Development Director result…the giver simply becomes a better person .” – Jack Dionigi, There With Care Donor
