DECEMBER MOUNTAINCARE SCHOLARSHIPS


The holidays are one of the most joyful times of year here at MountainCare, but we know that December brings added stress for our caregivers. It can be challenging balancing caregiving responsibilities with an even busier schedule full of social and financial obligations. 


Thanks to two generous donors, MountainCare has scholarship funds available to provide extra support this holiday season. December Scholarships can be used in two ways:


1) To schedule up to 3 additional days of attendance in December

2) To provide temporary hardship assistance for regularly scheduled days


If you are feeling overwhelmed, please do not hesitate to reach out. We're here to help you get through the season with a little more joy and a little less stress!


To request scholarship days, contact Sunny Larson, Development Manager, by replying to this email or calling 828-277-3399.
