A
CALL FOR HELP
Please help us help others! It is our goal to help those who are
struggling to obtain services and materials and we need your help. Please
donate any good clean excess items you no longer need. We will gladly
pickup any items you cannot deliver yourself. We are always in need of medical
devices, walkers, canes, oxygen carriers, wheelchairs, pill minders, etc.
Also in need are home modification devices, toilets, showers, building
materials, etc. that we can use to create safer environments. We can also
assist in listing items you wish to sell in an on-line auction, for a small
commission fee. Information on this service can be found under Auctions.
And it goes without saying that our members need access
to many services they cannot afford. Any cash or asset donations allow us to
help provide assistance for those services. Please visit our Donations
page and contribute however small an amount you are able. Every dollar
adds up and the gratitude received by others is immeasurable.
Needs Example:
N.L. contacted
us with a request for help. She is an 80 year old widow. Her husband
passed away six years ago leaving her with a modest estate and a small
pension. She had a son and daughter living nearby, with one son out of
state. Her husband had, in typical fashion, been the caretaker of the
finances and after his passing she and her local son decided that she should
sell her home and use the money to have an addition built on to his home in
which she could live.
She then explained that her son, rather than building
the addition onto his house, squandered the money with his wife, spending it all
on themselves instead. N.L. lived in the basement of his house the entire
time, always expecting the addition to take place. Furthermore, as time
went on the son and his wife decided that N.L. should begin to pay rent in order
to continue living in their house. He became agitated and passively
aggressive toward N.L. insisting that she should pay rent and to
'behave'.
N.L. was only supported by her social security and
her husband's small pension. She had no other savings. She felt
ashamed and she felt she had no means to move out of his house to go someplace
else. She then contacted the Retirement Resource Organization for help.
After taking preventive measures to protect her from
potential physical/emotional abuse from her local son we were able to arrange
for involvement of her daughter and out-of-state son. N.L. was then
provided with funding for the service of multiple legal documents, including a
Trust and Durable Powers of Attorney documents, along with other ancillary
protective legal documents. She was additionally provided with assistance
with moving out of her local son's residence and into her out-of-state son's
southern home. She is now very happy and very secure in her retirement.
Unfortunately, situations such as this are commonplace in
retirement. Please help us help others! Donate
now and make a difference in someone's life. From a tear-filled phone
call to a satisfied resolution: With your continued
support we can make a difference!
