Holiday Helping Hands
Spreading holiday cheer to nurses in need

'Tis the season for Holiday Helping Hands!

The nominations period is now open for our second annual member assistance program. 
 
Holiday Helping Hands supports AaNA members who are coping with difficult circumstances and may not have the means to purchase gifts or holiday meals for their families.   
 
Here’s how it works:

• Today through December 7th, we are accepting applications for nurses in need.
   
• You can apply for yourself, or nominate a fellow nurse who could use some extra assistance. 
   
• If you are a member of AaNA, you are eligible to apply. If you are facing financial stress due to unemployment, serious health concerns, fleeing domestic violence, family loss, etc. we want to help you!
   
• On the application, tell us why your family could use a helping hand and what your specific needs are (gifts for children or spouse, groceries for meal, decorations, etc.)  
   
• When the application period closes, our team will approve requests for help and reach out to participating nurse families.  
   
• This is where the rest of you come in! We will post wish lists and begin accepting donations after December 7th. With your help, we can spread holiday cheer to our colleagues in need.
