World Kindness Day and we wanted to say thank you for your kind support of The Caring Place. Your donations help us to fill basic human needs for people such as Diana Allison.
When Diana Allison worked, she made a fair wage, could buy groceries and pay rent. She even had decent medical and dental insurance. But when she hurt her back in 2006, she had to retire early and has subsisted on the $750 a month she receives from Social Security.
After having been self-sufficient all her life, her physical and emotional health began to deteriorate and for the past nine years, she has had to rely on the help of others, including The Caring Place.
"It's very embarrassing. I've never not taken care of myself before. You feel like you're not as good a person as you once were," Diana says.
While Diana longs for the days when she was self-sufficient, she says that if The Caring Place hadn't helped her, she doesn't think she'd be here today.
"The Caring Place asked me what I needed and has helped me with food, clothing and assistance with my prescription expenses. The people are so loving."
Thank you for helping us to serve Diana and so many others who come to us for help. We appreciate your support!
In October, we served 1,860 people in our Food Pantry. This was a record breaking month for The Caring Place! We are seeing more families in need as our community continues to grow. Your continued support helps us to meet this need.
THANKS TO YOU, THE CARING PLACE HAS BEEN VOTED
