You Can Battle Social Isolation
Dear Friend,
I hope you received my letter inviting you to join PCOA in battling social isolation for older adults.
In the letter, I shared the story of my friend Mark. However, I think you’ll enjoy his story even more in his own words. Will you take just a minute to watch this video?
As Mark shares, “loneliness is a problem.” Will you help other older people to escape loneliness and social isolation?
Your gift will allow older adults in our community to access the many PCOA services which help to battle isolation. If you haven’t already, please join us in this important effort and make a secure online donation today.
Thank you for being the smiling face who visits a home-hound older adult or the hand of welcome at one of our community meal sites. Your gift will make a difference!
In gratitude,
W. Mark Clark
President & CEO

Finding Strength in the Journey
Michael’s journey of caregiving for his wife Taylor, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, is one of love, resilience, and finding strength in community. Overwhelmed by the challenges, Michael found hope through PCOA’s support groups, where he realized he wasn’t alone.
“The support groups rescued me,” Michael shared. Thanks to the tools and emotional strength he gained, Michael was able to care for Taylor while also caring for himself.
Help us continue supporting caregivers like Michael. Read his full story and donate today: pcoa.org/seasonofgiving
