We’re thrilled to share that this Thursday is Give to the Max Day—Minnesota’s annual giving day. As we gear up for this incredible day of giving, we’re reaching out to you, our valued supporter, to help us kickstart our campaign strong.
Our work wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our Direct Support Professionals! Take for example, A’Zirah from Carver House. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everyone at Carver House receives care tailored to their unique needs.
• For Arthur: She encourages him to participate in activities by setting up the activity ahead of time, complete with a drink, snack, and his tablet in case he gets distracted.
• For Jackie: She does her hair specifically to match her outfit for the day, and of course, always makes sure she is wearing her bracelets that she needs to have a successful day.
• For Cody: She encourages him to help with daily activities around the home, like helping with dinner, setting the table, or doing his exercises and daily walks.
• For Laurel: She always reads Laurel her favorite book, sets the TV to her favorite show, or plays music and dances with her.
She also goes the extra mile to make sure the house is set up for the next person on duty, including getting pajamas and lunches ready.
This is why your support this week is so important! Our Direct Support Professionals are at the heart of carrying out our mission every day. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to do this. Please consider supporting us this Thursday for Give to the Max Day or anytime this week. You can make a difference!
