As most of you know, Heather McHugh is fronting a terrific organization
she set up to give a space and some time to write for those who are in the
day-to-day front line of caring for disabled loved ones . Caregifted is
past the start-up phase, and into trying to establish legacy funds and a
permanent basis for continued support of these under-sung caregivers. To
spread the word, she has teamed with film-maker Adam Larson to create a
feature length documentary about the project. Here’s a great a link to a
description of the project: http://undersung.org

Heather and Adam have pulled in nearly enough donations to make this film
a reality; they are only $695.00 away from their goal. The rub is, they
need to come up with that small amount by January 14th. If you can spare a
few dollars for a wonderful project, please push the donate button and
help Heather and Adam put their project over the top.

Warren Wilson faculty member Heather McHugh has started a non-profit, Caregifted, which provides week-long getaways to long-term caregivers of disabled family members.  Available trips include an island in Maine, Napa, California, and Victoria, BC.

“They’ve changed my definitions of love — as parenthood does in any case — but with these guys, it’s even a notch beyond amazing, what they give, day in, day out– because it doesn’t end except with their own deaths or the deaths of their loved ones.  You should see their joy at getting one week off to BE cared for.”
