I love sharing innovative programs nursing homes create to enhance the lives of their residents. Today we’ll look at four programs from healthcare communities around the world. As before, I’ll include links for each organization so you can contact them for more information.
Many of you know I attended a Catholic college to earn my nursing degree even though I’m not Catholic. I came out of there with enormous respect for the sisters who devoted their lives to serving God and serving other people.
One day a sister spoke with us about how the nuns find purpose in life when they’re no longer able to work and must enter retirement. She shared about how the retired sisters spend an enormous amount of time in prayer. They pray for the needs of the community, the students, our nation, and the world.
Even though I graduated many years ago, I still receive a postcard from the sisters around Easter time every year. They invite alumni to share prayer requests that are then presented to the retired sisters. It gives me an enormous sense of comfort to know that my needs are being brought before God by this amazing group of women.
Over the past year, I’ve shared lots of virtual fundraising ideas to help you raise money while social distancing. Now that the pandemic is coming to an end, I’m excited to once again share in-person fundraisers.
Today I’m featuring five more fundraisers successfully hosted by a variety of healthcare organizations. As in the past, I’ll include links so you can contact each of them directly for more information.
