Dear Neighbor,

From a child adopted by a loving family to a senior enjoying a meal from our food pantry, Catholic Charities of New York has been providing help and creating hope for millions of New Yorkers — and we couldn’t do it without you.

Every day, your support creates brighter futures for all of God’s children.  As a part of National Make-A-Will Month this August, I invite you to consider and plan for your own bright future with this online tool.

• What is it?  Make-A-Will Month is a moment of recognition to highlight the importance of estate planning, and a reminder to create or update your will and safeguard your future.
• Why does it matter?  Nearly ⅔ of Americans don’t have a will, missing an opportunity to protect their loved ones and find security and peace of mind.  This month is designed to help everyone complete this important process!
• How can I participate?  In gratitude for helping to serve New Yorkers in need alongside Catholic Charities of New York, we offer this online will-writing tool — it makes it simple, accessible, and completely free.

Catholic Charities of New York has partnered with FreeWill, a trusted resource that has already guided over a million people through the simple process of creating a free will.  It’s a secure and straightforward way to ensure your legacy aligns with your values.

Take advantage of National Make-A-Will Month to ensure those you care about, and the values you uphold, are protected for years to come.

With gratitude,

Msgr. Kevin Sullivan
Executive Director
