On September 15th, DC127 joined the DC KinCare Alliance rally on the steps of the DC Council Building to stand alongside kinship caregivers across our city.
QueenAvius Poole, a Kin Caregiver and Co-President of the Relative Caregiver Community Board, spoke about the unique calling of kin caregivers, quoting Isaiah 1:17: "Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows." For Queen, that calling is personal and her faith became action. But she was quick to remind us all of something just as important: God never intended for caregivers to carry this alone.
That's the heart of DC127's work. We exist to make sure the calling of caregiving is never carried in isolation, but surrounded by a community ready to help.
