As a longtime social worker, I have seen too many exhausted caregivers whose own needs are at the bottom of the priority list. Now I have an opportunity to offer creative replenishment to an amazing group of spiritual leaders who rarely have time for their own self-care.
On February 11th I will be offering a workshop for the deacons at City of Refuge Church in Oakland, which serves primarily LGBTQ and BIPOC populations. This will be the first time in three years that that they will have an opportunity to gather for this kind of support, which is especially meaningful given how much they have been caring for others during the pandemic.
I can’t do this without your support. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help cover the cost of art supplies, food, and take-home-self-care kits for the participants. You will be doing a huge mitzvah for these spiritual leaders who give tirelessly every day as they care for others. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
