ERK equals an Elderly Program too!

ERK has an Elderly Program!  Yes, we do!  This program is near and dear to my heart and especially after the last couple of weeks.  You see, my 76 year mother has been fighting an enormous blood clot which is located in her femoral artery in her left leg.  The blood clot is from her abdomen to her foot....enormous, is an understatement.  We as a family, circled the wagons and went to work by taking care of her.  I took time off from work, my daughter relieved me when she got off work, we took her for blood draws after she got out of the hospital, my brother and his wife were there at the drop of a hat and my poor dad was a nervous wreck.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that she had a "support group" and it makes me wonder how many of the elderly out there in our community have no one?  It makes me so sad to think of someone elderly, well, anyone actually, having to go through the pain and misery that my mom has gone through the past 2 weeks alone.  I know we never know the "whole" story about why these older individuals are alone, but why can't someone be there?  I/we have a better idea of how our Elderly Program is going to work from now on to help these wonderful people who have made a difference in shaping our past/future and I hope that all of our donors will be there for them like you have been for the children.  I/we are always collecting items like:  toilet paper, toothpaste, laundry soap, dish soap, bar soap, deodorant, etc.  Keep in mind that for some of our elderly these types of items are luxuries!  Oh, and don't forget we also take money so that we can go shopping and buy the items that we are short.  If you have any questions about our Elderly Program call us, this one is my baby and I can't wait to hear from you.  303-919-2829
