Happy National Nurse’s Week, Lizzie!

I’m beyond proud of your DAISY Award nomination, though it comes as no surprise to me. From the very beginning, you have led with compassion, dedication, and a genuine love for caring for others. The long hours, emotional days, and incredible responsibility that come with caring for the sickest children have never stopped you from giving your whole heart and soul to your work.

As your Papa, I’ve watched you work tirelessly to become the nurse — and the woman — you are today, and I couldn’t be prouder. You continue to amaze me with your strength, kindness, and unwavering commitment to your profession. Seeing you recognized for the impact you have on your patients, their families, and your colleagues is both admirable and so well deserved.

I could not be prouder of the woman and healthcare professional you’ve become. We celebrate you this week, along with all of your fellow nurses who are the true unsung heroes of the healthcare profession. 💙

People aged 70½ or older now have a way to support the causes they love while also creating a reliable stream of lifetime income, thanks to recent law changes that allow a once-in-a-lifetime transfer directly from an IRA to fund a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust. When structured correctly, this transfer can be excluded from taxable income, and for those 73 or older, it may even count toward required minimum distributions. Read more about this strategy and then let’s explore whether this fits into your retirement or giving plans.
