Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
My father has a neurological condition which is depressing me. I need to focus on positives to help my mother with the situation and allow me to survive this experience. I love my dad dearly, and not being able to assist besides been there is very hard and emotionally difficult.
What I'd most like to receive:
Peace.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Through Oprah.com
About me:
I am a 54 year old woman. The oldest of three siblings. I love my parents very much; but each day is difficult to deal with their sickness and constant dependence on me. I am not handling very well their getting older and dealing with the idea that they might not be here soon. I think that for the first time; I am actually facing my own mortality and is not easy - and I tend to get very depress.

Hi ... sorry you're going through a difficult time with your parents.
Remember there is only so much you can do for them ... for anyone ...
Don't forget to give to yourself.

Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. We're striving to reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers, and you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.

The book 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life - authored by 29 Gifts founder Cami Walker is now in stores. You can also buy through Amazon.

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!

Happy giving!

P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.
