Shield HealthCare, a leading provider of home-delivered medical supplies, is launching its 22nd Annual Caregiver Story Contest! This year, we’re asking caregivers: “What Motivates You to be a Caregiver?”
Our annual Caregiver Story Contest is an opportunity to honor all those who support and care for loved ones managing chronic medical needs. The contest runs from Nov. 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. Three grand prize winners will win $1,000 and an engraved plaque for sharing their story, and five runners-up will win a $250 Visa Gift Card.
What Motivates You to be a Caregiver?
This year, we are asking caregivers: “What Motivates You to be a Caregiver?” We invite you to share your story with us in 300 words or more.
Caregiving is not always something we plan for, but when a person is called to care, they find the motivation to meet the physical, mental, and emotional needs of their loved ones. Some approaches to sharing your inspiration may include:
- How does caregiving spark passion in you?
- How has caregiving challenged you to grow?
- How does caregiving provide you with a sense of purpose?
These are just some suggestions – there is no right or wrong answer to how caregiving has inspired you.
Prizes
The top three Grand Prize Winners of Shield’s caregiver story contest will each receive a $1,000 Visa Gift Card and an engraved wall plaque. Five Runners-Up will each receive a $250 Visa Gift Card and a personalized award certificate. Shield will publish the winning and finalist entries on Shield’s community site, a widely-visited educational resource for caregivers, patients, and healthcare professionals.
