Seniors...

This month has been a pretty crazy month between the kids going back to school, having to create a 60 page ad program for football and State Survey at work, I am completely wiped. Even so.. my mind is stirring.. Debating on if I should switch out of the medical field or go back to school for social work my main focus on elder care. I really enjoy working with Seniors and so many of todays Seniors are not provied the support, respect and care from their families. At many times they are just forgotten about and causes such bad depression and failure to thrive for the elderly generation. As the cost of living goes up, the economy goes down.. our retired Seniors are still collecting limited income from social security. Over the past several years I have seen more Seniors starting to struggle more drastically. They are not able to afford basic needs. At times I have seen them struggle with decisions as to if they should buy needed medications, food or pay utility bills. Its very sad and they need help.. Many seniors are placed in Long term living facilities and are left with nothing. Even tho they are provided with all daily living needs, many do not have much clothing. I see this on a routine basis. Im on a mission- This month I will be focusing' on getting clothing donations for our older generation so they have warmer clothing in the upcoming months. I am looking for donations for New or gently Used clothing, pants, shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, sweaters, undergarmets, pajamas, socks, shoes/sneakers. Any size and all sizes would be greatly appreciated!
