Together, We Can Help People Live and Age Well
$500 towards $1,000
I've seen firsthand the difference AgeWell makes for older adults and the family caregivers who support them. So many families find themselves balancing work, raising children and caring for aging parents, often without knowing where to turn. AgeWell provides trusted guidance, practical resources and compassionate support that helps make those moments a little less overwhelming. I'm proud to support this work, and if it resonates with you, I hope you'll consider making a gift. Every donation helps ensure more older adults, caregivers and families in our community have access to the information, connections and support they need.

Hello [First Name],
As AgeWell Giving Day approaches on August 19, I'm asking for your support of an organization that means a great deal to me!
AgeWell Middle Tennessee helps older adults and their families navigate some of life's most challenging moments. Whether someone needs guidance on care options for a loved one, help finding financial resources, or simply someone to answer their questions, AgeWell is a free, trusted resource that's there when it's needed most. They serve older adults and caregivers across 13 counties in Middle Tennessee, providing compassionate, expert guidance.
On August 19, our community is coming together with a goal of raising $30,000 to help ensure AgeWell can continue serving those who need it most. I'm proud to be part of this effort, and I'd be grateful if you'd consider making a donation.
Every gift makes a meaningful difference. A donation of $64 can connect three older adults to the resources they need.

If you've ever cared for an aging parent, grandparent, friend, or neighbor—or know that one day you might—you understand how valuable it is to have someone to turn to. AgeWell helps ensure that no one has to navigate aging and caregiving alone.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering a gift in support of AgeWell Giving Day. Your generosity truly makes a difference!

RESET Story: Richard spent decades building a music career — teaching drum lessons, performing, and living his passion. But when income stopped covering basic needs when he moved to Nashville, and his single term of military service left him ineligible for VA benefits, he had very few places to turn.
AgeWell RESET changed that. In one consultation, he was connected to SNAP benefits through FiftyForward, emergency utility assistance through NeedLink, financial planning resources through the United Way Financial Empowerment Center, and employment support for adults 50+. A follow-up months later added a LIHEAP credit toward his electric bill.
"I am so grateful that I can continue to connect to AgeWell throughout my life to find resources that will benefit my life now and in the future."
Richard called RESET the only program in Davidson County that truly helped him — and that's exactly what we're here to do.
Eldercare Coach Story: When a daughter-in-law reached out to AgeWell's Eldercare Coach program, she was searching for answers — not for herself, but for her aging in-laws who were struggling to manage daily life independently.
The family had been piecing things together: coordinating medical appointments, managing crises, and at one point, having an adult child temporarily move in after her mother-in-law broke her ankle. It wasn't sustainable. And with the in-laws resistant to changing their living situation, the family felt stuck.
One conversation with an AgeWell Eldercare Coach changed that. She learned their long-term care insurance might already cover in-home services they didn't know were available. She walked away with tools for family decision-making, resources comparing in-home care and assisted living, and referrals for vision loss support, senior care advisors, and geriatric care managers.
"It was so helpful to talk with you, to validate that we're on the right track with many things, and get more ideas. We'll definitely keep your contact info around."
This is what AgeWell's Eldercare Coach program does — at no cost to families who need it most.

RESET Story: Richard is a veteran, musician, and drum teacher who moved to Nashville to build a life around music. When his income stopped covering the basics — and his military service made him ineligible for VA benefits — he didn't know where to turn.
One call to AgeWell RESET connected him to SNAP benefits, utility assistance, financial planning, and more. Months later, a follow-up added energy bill relief through LIHEAP.
He described our staff and partners as "kind, supportive, and a vital safety net" — and said RESET was the only program in Davidson County that truly helped him.
That's the power of knowing where to turn. 
ECC Story: A daughter-in-law was doing her best to help her aging in-laws — coordinating doctors, managing crises, watching the family struggle to find a sustainable path forward.
One call to AgeWell's Eldercare Coach gave her clarity. She learned their long-term care insurance might cover in-home services the family didn't know existed, and she walked away with referrals, decision-making tools, and a clearer picture of what comes next.
"It was so helpful to talk with you, to validate that we're on the right track with many things, and get more ideas."
AgeWell's Eldercare Coach program is free — and it's here for families exactly like this one.
