Engage in Storytelling for the Social Good: Caregiving

The people of Deepwell need you to Tell it to Someone Who Cares. United Cerebral Palsy and Life Without Limits will be carefully noting and reflecting on your stories told, your advice given, your innovative ideas offered, and thinking about the implications for improving care giving in our communities. Look for highlights soon. But first, we need you to share your perspectives.
Here is your 7 minute mission to engage with collaborative storytelling for the social good of care giving. It only takes 7 minutes and will make yours one of the first stories posted when Ruby's Bequest launches next Monday, March 16th!

Here's what to do:

Go to www.rubysbequest.org
Click on "Become a Friend of Deepwell" and follow the steps.
Tell a Story about Caring to help the people of Deepwell through two ways:
By phone. 1-888-64-RUBYS. Leave a voicemail with a short, 2 minute or so, piece of wisdom. Think of it as your 2 cents.
By email. readmystory@rubysbequest.org. Write about your experiences, share a photo and caption describing how it speaks to you about caring and/or link to a video or news story about any part of the ecosystem of caring.
Either by phone or email, please share a personal experience of caring or care giving, give advice to the town of Deepwell, who need to learn how to take better care of their people.

If you have questions, please email the folks in Deepwell at info@rubysbequest.org.

Thank you,

Sally Sachar
Executive Director
Life Without Limits
United Cerebral Palsy

Don't search for Deepwell on any map: you won't find it. The town, its residents and Ruby's unusual bequest are all part of a unique immersive experience in which thousands of people are helping forecast the future of caring in the United States. The Institute For The Future is conducting this innovative narrative on behalf of United Cerebral Palsy and AARP. Anyone can participate simply by applying their own wisdom and knowledge to Deepwell's dilemmas via email or phone.
