I have been batting my head to help senior citizens and I finally came up with something!
I recently got laid-off from a non-profit organization. I have many years of experience in non-profit's and from the past 15 years it seems as though people are focusing on youth and community. Don't get me wrong, I feel there is a strong need of help for both of them. What I am looking to do is to help the elderly. I have not seen nearly as much attention/funding in this area. It's a shame that we "forget" about the elderly and focus on everything but.
Not just working for non-profits do I notice the elderly being forgotten, but also through my own family and friends. They just get left behind and it's time that we stand up for them, they are intelligent, sincere, and even helpful. It's time to do something about this disgrace in America.
I would like to know where I can receive grant money to start helping the elderly. I would like start an organization and/or business in helping them clean, wash clothing, grocery shop, organize, help them understand their medical, etc. I would like to do this on an income basis. Charge them a percentage (low) of their income and have the grant pay for the rest. It's the least we can do to help them...all of them!
If anyone has information on how to get this started, please contact me at suekey1@aol.com.
