MRS. C’ S JOURNEY – REGAINING HEALTH AND INDEPENDENCE THROUGH MEALS ON WHEELS
Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County provided home-delivered meals to homebound seniors, individuals with disabilities, and other vulnerable adults in the community— ensuring they receive consistent nourishment and human connection.
At 75 years old, Mrs. C faced daily challenges living with osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, digestive issues, and limited mobility. Since enrolling with Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County in 2015, she’ s received consistent support that has transformed her health and her life. Working with a registered dietitian, Mrs. C improved her eating habits, lost 27 pounds, reduced her BMI, and ultimately became strong enough to undergo a successful knee replacement surgery.
“ I am so grateful for the Meals On Wheels team. Their support has changed my life. I finally feel like myself again,”
