2026 Keep the Lifeline Strong

Thank you for choosing to stand with families in crisis when an older adult needs care and the system says, "Not yet."

When insurance rules and bureaucratic roadblocks stand between a family and the care their loved one needs, your gift ensures they do not have to face those barriers alone. They can turn to START, where an experienced advocate answers in time, knows how to move care forward, and stays with them until that care becomes a reality.

Because of you, questions become answers, stress gives way to relief, and essential care makes it through the paperwork and into the room. A care attendant arrives. A nurse is there. A family receives the support, dignity, comfort, and hope they deserve.

Nearly 1,000 families turned to START this year, and more are reaching out every day. Thank you for keeping this essential lifeline strong.
