We Want to Hear from You! Your voice matters—and we are listening.
Your Story (or Your Loved One’s) Can Help Protect Vital Services
At PCOA, we know that stories— your stories —have the power to shape how our community and our leaders understand the needs of older adults. Together, we can lift up the voices of older adults and caregivers and remind policymakers what’s at stake. As critical services funded by the Older Americans Act and Medicaid face possible funding cuts, we are collecting personal stories from older adults, caregivers, and families to help illustrate just how essential these programs truly are. Have you or someone you care for benefited from: • Meals on Wheels or community lunches? • In-home caregiving or respite support? • Medicare or Medicaid guidance? • Healthy Living or caregiver support programs? Whether you’re sharing your own experience or telling the story of a loved one, we would be honored to hear from you. Share your story in the way that works best for you: ONLINE Fill out our story form at pcoa.org/shareyourstory BY PHONE Call us at (520) 355-5530. BY MAIL
