Millie and Mike-A Postscript

Dear Unknown Friend,

Our sages tell us that words that come from the heart enter the heart. So, with this in mind, I send you all the thanks that I can muster.
You cannot imagine how much the money for the lift for the motorized chair that I use, means to my independence. Every time I use it I will think of you with all of my heart’s blessings.

Thanks again and again!
Millie

In our previous post entitled Mike and Millie we shared the story of an elderly couple, both wheelchair-bound, for most of their lives. When a devastating neurological event struck Mike he was moved to a nursing home in a mostly non-responsive state. When the electronic lift on the van that was used to bring Millie to a once-a-week visit broke, the family, beset by other financial problems, had difficulty paying for the repairs. A social worker we rely on for cases just like this shared Millie and Mike’s story and we knew the Good People Fund could help.

Clearly, our intervention has meant the world to Millie and her independence…we could not be happier to give her this boost.
