What the Pipes Sounded Like
Hi Caregivers and Caregiver Advocates:
736 of you have signed this petition. Today I'm asking for one more yes.
Yesterday I was in a field in Estes Park listening to bagpipes while the week kept running in my pocket. A legal review confirmed. A researcher at a leading health policy institution responded to a LinkedIn message I sent Monday - by Friday, they had confirmed a meeting. All of it arrived while I watched a German shepherd investigate a goat at a pet adoption tent near the stage.
When I got home, my wife told me I needed to ask more directly.
She is right.
Take the Caring Costs Survey. Today.
Module 1 is 90 seconds. Three questions and one open answer: the part of caregiving that nobody has a name for is...
If you want to go further - and I hope you will:
Module 3 is twelve minutes. Built specifically to inform the Colorado Commission on Medicaid's December 11 report. If you have ever lost income, changed jobs, or left the workforce because of caregiving - this is where that experience becomes legislative evidence.
Module 4 is for employers and HR professionals. Ten minutes. Your perspective shapes what the law looks like from the other side.
Anonymous. No account required. Now available in English and Spanish.
Para cuidadores de habla hispana:
736 personas han firmado esta petición. Hoy les pedimos un paso más: tomen la encuesta.
Los Módulos 1 y 3 están disponibles en español ahora mismo en casiadvocacy.org/research. Su experiencia como cuidador o cuidadora es la evidencia que la Comisión de Medicaid necesita antes del 11 de diciembre.
Anónimo. Sin cuenta de Google. Diez minutos.

736 petition signers. If every one of you took Module 1 this week, we walk into December 11 with 736 responses. That is not a dream - it is one text message forward.
Take it. Then share it with one caregiver you know - wherever they are.
