When I started Cocktails & Caregivers, I never imagined we’d be able to support someone so close to my own heart. Michaela is a dear friend from college, and watching her walk alongside her little sister through cancer has been both heartbreaking and humbling. I’m incredibly grateful that C&C could step in during such a personal, difficult season and offer support when it mattered most. This is why we do what we do—because caregivers aren’t just stories, they’re our friends, our family, our people. Here’s what Michaela has to say about how Cocktails & Caregivers helped her sister:
“When I met Amanda Clark-Wahl years ago in college (picture included for reference), I never could have imagined that one day a foundation that she started during one of the most difficult times of her life would go on to help my younger sister during the hardest part of hers. Kelsey moved last week in order to be closer to both the hospital in which she is receiving treatment and to her school. Because of the distance, none of our family could be there to help, even though we wish we could have. So, we reached out to Cocktails & Caregivers to see if there was a way we could get a grant to cover her moving expenses. Even though the foundation had already used up all of its money for the year, Amanda and her team somehow made it happen, and we were able to surprise Kelsey last Sunday when a moving truck showed up in front of her house instead of just a few friends and colleagues she thought would be helping her.
Thank you, Amanda and Cocktails & Caregivers for this amazing gift. If you are looking for a charity to support during this holiday season, please consider donating to this organization.”
