Our massage for care givers may have a donor to help spur its growth. This business also serves the seniors and their families so we are a fit in that sense. But they may engage our services to promote their business to the retirement homes and care giving agencies. I had never thought about promoting massage as an endorsement, of sorts, for another business.
So they are offering to pay for care giver massage for a few agencies as a trial run. I have gathered up a few agencies who are eager to have massage for their staff and I have sent off the requested proposal to our donor.
Now we wait to hear back. The donor was quite excited about the prospect of doing this for the care givers, just as I was excited to have the opportunity to do this for the staff that work so hard caring for our elderly and ill.
If you are reading this, keep your fingers crossed that this will blossom and spread. Care givers need care too. And they usually work hard at work and then go home and work some more. A bit of respite with massage can take away the aches and relieve some stress from these overworked, wonderful people.
