Legacy Cares (Legacy Counseling Center) would like to give a special shout-out to the Bingham family for their generous North Texas Giving Day match of $5,000 at 100% and to McKinney Avenue JV for their donation of $1,700! Early giving is currently open! Donate by visiting https://lnkd.in/gxZjnf3x and double your impact until we reach $5,000! This was a touching quote from the Bingham family about what Legacy means to them. “My family will be forever grateful to Legacy Cares for the years of compassionate caretaking provided to my brother, Timothy. When we had nowhere else to turn for help, Legacy was there for him - and for us. In his honor, we wanted to help other individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS, and could think of no better way than giving to this wonderful organization.” #NTxGivingDay #NorthTexasGivingDay #matchingdonations #HIV #EndingHIV #NTxGD
