Care for the Elderly

So many elderly people who have never had to ask others for help are now finding themselves having to survive on so little, that they do not have the resources to eat properly. This creates so much stress in their lives which in turn creates health problems which in turn can accelerate the onset of old age and chronic diseases.

Nourishment is of vital importance at any age, but to think of elderly people not having enough to eat and going hungry, is alarming. Hunger should not be an issue in anyone`s life, and to see what joy these people experience when having meals delivered to their door, knowing that someone cares about them, that they are not alone or isolated, is so rewarding.

Meals on Wheels offer an amazing service to the elderly with such warmth and caring. They are a non-profit organisation who rely on donations and have been in service since 1939. They prevent so many elderly from going hungry.
