We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

CAREGIVER TALK: RESOURCES, TOOLS, AND TIPS
AARP in Kansas City wants to connect caregivers to resources and information that can help make caring for a loved one just a little bit easier. We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14th to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: Caregiver Talk.
Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.
AARP Missouri is gathering stories from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.
We would love for you to share your story with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.
As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families. We have resources and information online the AARP Caregiver Resource Center and information about AARP activities and events wherever you are by going to www.aarp.org/nearyou.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.

We know that caregivers can be short on time, money, sleep, emotional support—really anything except the love for the person they’re caring for. Our new virtual half hour monthly webinar, Caregiver Talk, aims to feature different organizations and resources that may help. We’ll be collaborating with Sandwiched KC to provide content from different sources, and we’ll record the webinars so you can see them when it’s convenient for you. Join us on March 14<sup>th</sup> to hear about how a local non-profit in Kansas City, PACE KC, can help people receive medical care and supportive services in their homes and communities whenever possible. And you can see past webinars anytime on our YouTube channel here: <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVmHUvWRHFMeLbgSkzczUz_PkeIaEywY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caregiver Talk</a></span></span>.<br><br>Caregiving can sometimes be isolating and just knowing you’re not the only one can make what you’re going through easier. And you’re not alone. Missouri has over 800,000 unpaid family caregivers who provide thousands of hours of care for their loved ones. This can be a challenging labor of love that caregivers provide to keep older and disabled Missourians in their communities and connected to their support networks. And nationwide, nearly eight in ten family caregivers (78%) incur out-of-pocket caregiving costs – on average, $7,200 annually on care-related expenses. That represents about 25% of their total income.<br><br> AARP Missouri is <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011716370%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8yvHyTNbcWtZ0BLEaRfJC%2F%2BBEZWcPZZbWaGyfTzcupY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gathering stories</a></span></span> from family caregivers to help identify gaps in supports and resources and tell the stories of the struggles and joys family caregivers face every day.<br><br>We would love for you to <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faarpmarketing.iad1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_87TXVgJj6V0Y5yC&data=05%7C02%7CRDHall%40aarp.org%7Caab912694c2048a8ef0708dd52ad6cb0%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C638757627011747103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5jSxbRxK8wwMkfpsvgXzB4LnyUXqQ5Gmu5HPg1eK0R4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">share your story</a></span></span> with us as we continue to support you and your loved ones.<br><br>As part of AARP’s mission, we work to enhance the lives of all people 50+ and their families.
