Some moments in life leave a lasting mark—memories that define us forever. For me, that moment was the passing of my father. As both his caregiver and daughter, I faced a unique set of challenges during his final months.

My father’s wish was to spend his remaining days at home, surrounded by family. Thanks to the generous support of donors like you and the incredible team at MJHS Hospice, I was able to honor that wish. They provided the compassionate care my father deserved, allowing me to focus on being his daughter during this precious time.

In the months leading up to his hospice care, I was overwhelmed. I provided round-the-clock support while struggling with stress and sleep deprivation. MJHS Hospice stepped in, arranging necessary equipment and providing Home Health Aide hours through their caregiver-dedicated fund. This support was crucial, giving me the space to care for myself while ensuring my father received the care he needed.

From the compassionate nurses and social workers who became like family to the bereavement team that continued to support me after my father’s passing, MJHS helped us navigate this difficult journey with dignity and grace.

The dual role of caregiver and daughter is not unique, and many families face similar challenges. Unfortunately, gaps in insurance coverage can lead to financial burdens that add to the stress during this already difficult time.

This is where you can make a difference. Your gift can help families experience the same care and support I received. This year, your generosity will have double the impact—every dollar you donate will be matched by a generous donor, up to $50,000!*

Wishing you a safe and meaningful holiday season,

Warm Regards,
Daisy Collado
