Marriage Matters

Dear Friends

I want to tell you about a recent event that moved us deeply.  It’s about one of our supporters named Charley.

Charley is over 90 years old, and is still living at home, taking care of himself, driving his late model Buick, and trying to stay as active as he can, despite the aches, pains and limitations brought on by his advanced years.

Charley heard us talk on the radio about how people in Jackson County are suffering right now, many for the first time, and in greater numbers than we’ve seen in years.  He decided that he could do something to help, and got in his big white Buick and headed down to our United Way offices.

We saw Charley pull in the parking lot, and admired his determination as he struggled out of the car, pulling himself along, his strong hands grasping the roof line, guiding his unsteady legs beneath him.  He pulled his walker out of the trunk, and then slowly crossed the parking lot to the table where we were collecting donations.  read entire story here...
