Thanksgiving may come just once a year in America, but every day is like Thanksgiving for us at LIFE ElderCare. We are constantly reminded of reasons to be thankful, especially when we receive donations from people like you – people who care about the health and well-being of our older generation. Thanks to you and all the Global Giving donors to our project, we have served 865 healthy and tasty meals to homebound seniors. That’s a whole lot of veggies, rice, chicken, beef or whatever is on the menu for the day! (Trust me, it’s all good!)
We are thankful that older folks like Vera can count on us.
Vera’s husband died 7 years after they were married so she is used to taking charge! She learned how to keep books and worked hard to make sure her daughter got everything she needed to complete college. When her daughter moved, she missed her but got along fine, she told us, until 2012, when she fell. Her doctor encouraged her to move into a nursing facility but she said that was NOT going to happen. She loves her little house in Fremont. She wants to hold on to what she has in the face of health care bills and an inability to cook.
Because of LIFE ElderCare's Meals on Wheels, Vera no longer worries about buying or eating nutritious meals. This service is her lifeline, and without you, it wouldn’t exist.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you!
