💜💜💜

Where would we be
without the caregivers?

Their hearts so full
of warmth and care
they step in and provide
like an answered prayer.

Their eyes so full
of empathy,
they hold hands
and hold space
for the hurting to feel seen.

Their souls so full
of sincerity,
the first to give
and the first to pour out
anticipating every need.

Who step in
to comfort, to cover
to soothe and to nurture,
to bear witness
to the pain of another.

Who lose sleep
ever-serving, pouring
from an empty cup
as they hold nocturnal vigil,
when no one else is up.

Who are there
for every painful breath
and every tear cried.
their grace, a loving guide
the bedrock at the bedside.

Oh, where would we be
without the caregivers?”

-Liz Newman

💜 April brings two important opportunities to take action and raise awareness in our communities:

• National Drug 💊 Take Back Day on April 25 is a safe, anonymous way to dispose of unused or expired medications—helping prevent misuse and protect our families.

Find a collection site near you through the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration: https://www.dea.gov/takebackday

• National Fentanyl 🧫 Awareness Day on April 29 serves as a critical reminder of the dangers of fentanyl and the importance of education, prevention, and access to life-saving tools like Narcan.
