$100 Amazon Giftcard Giveaway - ends 12/5!

We are sharing this post as part of a Bloggin’ Mamas Social Good Campaign, and were not compensated for doing so.


Random Acts of Kindness Giveaway AARP- Win $100 Amazon Giftcard- Ends 12-5-15   

Bloggin' Mamas is sponsoring this giveaway in support of the Ad Council and the AARP & helping to raise awareness of the Caregiver Assistance campaign. November is National Family Caregivers month, and the Random Acts of Kindness initiative aims to recognize and support the 40 million unpaid caregivers in the U.S. Many caregivers are boomer women, often sandwiched between the needs of their parents and their own kids. A popular misconception is that caregivers are paid medical professionals, providing full-time care to someone in need of daily help, when in reality, most caregivers are family members or friends who are also working and managing their own families at the same time. For many, the caregiving role starts with simple things like scheduling a doctor’s visit or helping with daily errands, but gradually expands over time, until it becomes a major commitment in their lives. This month, they kicked off a program designed to encourage all Americans to perform an unexpected ‘Random Act of Kindness’ for a caregiver. By starting this nationwide movement, they’ll raise awareness of caregiving and caregivers while at the same time reaching caregivers directly—helping to alleviate some of their daily stresses and reward them for their ongoing support. 

Info & Resources


Almost three in ten people who are caring for someone say their life has changed with caregiving, oftentimes for the negative. More than one in five say their weight, their exercise, or their social life has/have suffered. Emotionally, one in five say they are generally unhappier and one in three say they feel sad or depressed. That’s why AARP created a community where caregivers can connect with experts and other caregivers and can find information and tools to take even better care of the person who once took care of them.

And Now for the Giveaway!

One Winner will Win a $100 Amazon Giftcard! Giveaway begins November 21st, 2015 at 6pm EST and ends December 5th, 2015 at 11:59 pm EST. Open to US residents age 18 and older. Winner will be selected by Random.org and be notified by email. See Give¬away Tools widget below for full terms & conditions.

  1. I am familiar with AARP. The last time I did a random act of kindness was a week ago, when I volunteered at a soup kitchen to serve food.

  5. I helped an elderly man jump start his car. When that didn't work, I drove him and his little dog to his son's house. I am aware of AARP because they are sponsors for Jeff Gordon #24 NASCAR driver.
