I am writing to ask readers of thefrontpageonline.com to support the National Family Caregivers Assn. petition for a Family Caregiver Postage Stamp. Only 2,000 more signatures are needed.
NFCA is sponsoring this U.S. Postage Stamp Campaign in honor of all the family caregivers in America.
Family caregivers are not compensated, yet provide 80 percent of care at no cost to any healthcare system. It is estimated that family caregivers’ annual contributions to the country's healthcare system is valued at $362 billion — and growing each year.
NFCA is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering family caregivers to act on behalf of themselves and their loved ones, and to remove barriers to their health and wellbeing by educating, supporting, empowering and speaking up for America's family caregivers.
The petition is available online at: http://thefamilycaregiver.org/caregiverpetition/caregiverpetition.cfm
