The Genius of Caring

Dear Global Giving Community,

We want to thank all of you, our community of support, for your generosity, love, and kindness. Due to your ongoing support, we have been able to continue to serve caregivers through our work. So many people have been reaching out to us this holiday season to thank our family and our team here at the Genius of Caring for the support and validation they have felt through watching The Genius of Marian and other projects we have produced. It was a reminder of how much my mother's spirit is still driving this project. She was a gifted social worker and an amazing listener. She helped people believe in themselves and cultivated strong and supportive community networks and friendships. I am so proud of what we have been able to accomplish as a community and I am excited to continue to grow and learn into 2020 and beyond.

Our team will soon be releasing an additional portrait to the site, Chuck and Dolores English who we have introduced to you in previous reports. As you may remember Dolores and Chuck were a warm, giving, loving couple that had been together for 36 years. Chuck passed away from late-stage Lewy Body dementia. Dolores has been very committed to helping other family caregivers and believes her and Chuck's portrait can help others. We feel honored to have met them and look forward to sharing their story.

We wish you and your loved ones Happy Holidays!

With gratitude,

Banker White
