“My wish is for sleep. Stephanie was born with one quarter of one kidney. Although most new moms don’t get a lot of sleep, I virtually got none because of her interventions and reactions to medication.”

From the [Governor/County Executive/Mayor] of the [State/County/City/Town] National Family Caregivers
Month, November 20XX
Whereas, During this season of thanksgiving, as we pause to reflect on the many blessings that have been
bestowed on us as individuals and as a [State/County/City/Town], we are especially grateful for the love
of our families and friends. One of the most profound ways in which that love is expressed is through the
generous support provided by family caregivers to loved ones who are chronically ill, elderly or disabled.
Caregivers reflect family and community life at its best. They are among [State/County/City/Town]’s most
important natural resources.
Whereas, The need for family caregivers is growing. We are blessed to live in a time when medicine and
technology have helped us live longer. As a result, persons with disabilities are living longer and people
over 85 are the fastest growing segment of our population. Family caregivers can be found in every city
and town in America. It is likely that we all know at least one family caregiver
Whereas, Family caregivers deserve our lasting gratitude and respect. This month, as we honor the many
contributions that family caregivers make to the quality of our national life, let us resolve to work
through our community, religious, social, business and other organizations to offer programs and services
that will provide caregivers the support and encouragement they need to carry out their vital
responsibilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, [Insert name of Official], [insert title of Official], do hereby proclaim November 20XX
as National Family Caregivers Month in [State/County/City/Town].
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this [date] day of [month], in the year of 20XX.
