SAGE the Caregiver

Off the back porch, down the steps

The Wishing Well

Say the thing you actually need.

Not the polite version. One full night of sleep. For him to pick up the phone. For her to know my name on Thursday. Scroll, and walk down to the water.

At the water

Everybody else's are in there too

Touch a light to read one. Touch the water to move it.

A dollar a wish
Scroll to walk down

A candle is for somebody else. A wish is for you.

It is the thing you would not say out loud at the dinner table, because saying it feels like complaining and you have already decided you are not allowed to complain.

One full night of sleep. For him to pick up the phone. For her to know my name on Thursday. For somebody to ask how I am and mean it. For one day where nothing goes wrong.

Nobody is going to grant it. That is not what a well is for. A well is for saying it somewhere other than the inside of your own head, and then letting it go in the water with everybody else's.

Your wish sinks in with the rest of them. You can put your name on it or you can stay out of it entirely.


A dollar a wish

How many wishes would you like to make?

Secure checkout through Payhip. You pay there, then come straight back here to say your words.

Plainly: this is symbolic. Nothing is mailed to you and nobody is granting anything. What you get is your words in the water, and from every Wishing Well order, one dollar goes toward a caregiver kit for somebody on the list. SAGE is not a charity; this is pay it forward.

How your wish reaches Sage

  1. Say it here first. The slip of paper on this page. Choose whether it shows with your name, without it, or not at all.
  2. Pay on Payhip. A secure checkout. SAGE never sees your card.
  3. Come straight back. Payhip returns you to a SAGE page with a short form. Your words are already copied; paste them in.
  4. Sage reads it. By hand, usually within a few days. Then it goes in the water the way you chose, for everyone who walks down here after you.

So you know the difference

Three ways to leave something

These do different jobs, and none of them replaces another.
