NexusBC Community Resource Centre Society hasn't added a story.
This is Lenore. At the beautiful age of 71 years old, she is living her best life thanks to support from NexusBC Community Resource Centre.
Lenore's childhood story is not a happy one. It involves an alcoholic father and terrible mistreatment. Lenore never did marry, and instead worked hard and lived with her mom until her mom passed away in 2003.
Many seniors, just like Lenore, live alone in our community. Sometimes they are survivors of horrible childhoods. Too often they struggle to pay the rent and heat. They can afford only basic groceries. Fresh fruit and vegetables are too expensive. Medication costs can be high. Hearing aids, dentures and eyeglasses are often completely unaffordable.
These are the seniors that we at NexusBC work hard to support. With the assistance of some amazing volunteers, we help seniors fill out applications for benefits and subsidies, and file taxes for free so they continue to receive their benefits. We distribute hampers, gifts and coupons to those seniors in our community who need it the most. We provide rides to doctor’s appointments and to pick up groceries. We provide subsidized house cleaning and last, but certainly not least, we have a drop-in centre for information on affordable housing, transportation, counselling programs, home support and so much more.
In Lenore’s words...
“Where would I be without this help?”
There are so many seniors just like Lenore that need our help. Here are some examples of how your support can help transform lives:
- A $5 contribution can ensure a senior has a ride to their doctors’ appointment.
- A $15 contribution can ensure a senior has a ride to a medical test in Kelowna.
- A $25 contribution supports a senior to get subsidized housing.
- A $35 contribution can provide an hour of cleaning for a senior who has lost mobility.
- A $50 contribution gives a wonderful Christmas gift to a senior who needs it the most.
Please give today. We have seniors waiting for your support and your gift will be put to work immediately.
95% of the money raised will go directly to our seniors programs. 5% of the money raised will go to keeping the lights on and other operational requirements.
It is donors like YOU that will enable our most treasured community members to be cared for and supported so they can live their very best lives.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
