Adrian is a very sweet man who recently became part of our Elderly Care Program. He was brought to the office by his granddaughter who was really worried about his wellbeing.

He worked his whole life to provide for his family, but now at this stage of his life he can no longer work and his family is trying to keep him as comfortable and healthy as they can. However, his children and grandchildren have their own families and the little money they make is hardly enough to support them all.

When his story came to us we immediately included him in our program and the following day he started receiving one nutritious meal daily. However, it broke our heart to know that he did not have a bed and that he was sleeping on a piece of wood placed over cement blocks. At that point Adrian told us that he was thankful to his neighbors that lent him the piece of wood; otherwise he would be sleeping on the dirt floor. 

A few days later, thanks to many very generous donors, we were able to buy Adrian a bed with a mattress and it melted our hearts to see his smile when he saw the bed. He could not believe that he would no longer be sleeping on a piece of wood.
