Caregivers Initiative:
Caregivers who share their story can get a $50.00 gift card. Please share this with caregivers you know.
Visit aarp.org/iheartcaregivers to view the updated story collection form, and the gift card options.
Concept: Every day, family caregivers deliver. They deliver medicine. They deliver meals. They deliver love. Now, it’s our turn to deliver to them. When family caregivers share their stories with AARP, we’ll deliver a gift card for groceries, gas or the drug store. It’s our way to make their lives a little easier. We’ll also continue to fight for more support for family caregivers: help at home, training, financial help, relief, and more. That’s how AARP continues to deliver for family caregivers.
Incentive: Each family caregiver who shares his or her story with AARP via I Heart Caregivers will receive a $50 gift card for groceries, gas, or the drug store. Visit aarp.org/iheartcaregivers to view the updated story collection form, and the gift card options.
