The Difference You Can Make
Here’s a sampling of what a $20 contribution to aging programs and services through the Thanks Mom & Dad Fund delivers:
- Four home-delivered meals to a homebound widow, or
- Two hours of respite or adult day care, or
- A round trip to take a frail veteran to the doctor.
Even the smallest donations count.
My mom and dad are my heros. They gave me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, travel some of the most fabulous places and to have an excellent education. They showed me how to live life with a smile and taught me to help others who are less fortunate. The joy in life I have now is all credited to them. Each day I remember a wonderful event, a caring hug or a laugh. Today, my mom speaks of her loving memories of her mother and states she was her mentor. At 87, she is lively, tells jokes, still helps others and is my mentor. Yesterday, we celebrated Mother’s Day together and I felt so lucky to still have her. What a gift.
