One Less Worry.
More Room For Hope.
NOW through December 31, your gift helps make care possible
for family members, friends, and neighbors who need it most.
What if you could give someone peace of mind?
During McCall’s Annual Appeal, you can.
At McCall, our promise is that no one is turned away because of an inability to pay.
That’s why every dollar raised will help fill the gap between what a client can afford
and the care they deserve.
“I have had to delay or forgo care and prescriptions because of the cost, even when I knew they were important. The financial burden of healthcare can make it difficult to prioritize my health when I have to choose between medical expenses and other essential living costs.”
— Shared by a McCall Client in a recent survey
“It can be difficult to get the help you need when you’re balancing healthcare costs with everyday expenses, especially if you’re just starting on your recovery journey. When you’re trying to manage your finances, find a place to live, and meet your basic needs, affording care can feel nearly impossible.”

Every gift helps lift a burden.
A note from our President and CEO.
Dear Friends:
At McCall, we are reminded every day that many people are carrying more than anyone should have to carry alone.
For some, it is the stress of trying to keep up with rent, groceries, and utility bills while also managing their health. For others, it is the uncertainty of where to turn when a child is struggling, when substance use has affected a family, or when a mental health concern becomes too difficult to manage alone.
These are the moments when access to care matters most. We believe that care should bring relief, not another worry.
A parent should be able to focus on helping their child, not whether they can afford the support they need. Someone working toward recovery should be able to take the next step forward without worrying about the cost of taking it. A person facing a health concern should be able to ask for help, knowing that someone will be there.
Because when cost is one less worry, there is more room for hope.
Every day, we see what becomes possible when compassionate care and practical support are within reach. When barriers are removed, people can focus on what is really important: their health, their recovery, their families, and their future.
Your generosity makes that possible.
Your gift connects a young person to mental health support, helps someone take the next steps toward recovery, and ensures more people can access care when they need it most.
Help us make one less worry possible and create more room for hope, healing, and a healthier tomorrow.
With gratitude,
Maria Coutant Skinner
President and Chief Executive Officer
