Independent and alone. New worth found.
“ If only someone made a light bulb that never had to be changed!” Delores, 82, with weary eyes looks down at her hands. The thought of not having to worry about changing a light bulb in her home seems like a previous lifetime ago. Her husband now gone had taken care of these once routine household chores. Even being in his mid-80’ s, both he and Delores were very independent and maintained a slightly normal lifestyle until he took sick last year.
With only one child from their 60 year marriage, who now lives out of state, Delores found herself alone with no place to go and limited connection to the world outside her front door. Wanting more out of life Delores found the Neighborhood Alliance Senior Enrichment Services of Oberlin. Now because of you, Delores enjoys time spent with new friends, new hobbies and volunteers giving back to the organization that gave her new worth.
