By the time that you receive this in your mailbox, the world will have already celebrated Independence Day. But, we’re reminded that we celebrate independence every day of the year. We celebrate it through helping one another, and through making the world a better place to live. At the Ohio Masonic Home Resource Center, we also celebrate it through helping you. We can help you maintain your independence at home, too, by assisting with setting up home care, and we even have a financial assistance program that can help cover the cost for those that qualify.
We’d like to share Joyce and David Moore’s story with you. Joyce said, “It all started when a fellow Mason in Lodge told David about the program. It’s been a wonderful experience and this is an excellent resource for people, but there are so many people that still don’t know this is available. We want to share our story, so that more people know about it. It’s truly a blessing as Maddie, our caregiver, has been to us. Maddie does everything I’m not able to do. I just can’t say enough.”
Joyce shared that she has difficulty doing the things that she used to. She has trouble writing, and Maddie can take down phone numbers or notes for her. Joyce said, “she has helped in so many ways… cooking for us… cleaning cupboards… or even patching up walls when my wheelchair marks them up! There were so many of my favorite dishes that I couldn’t cook anymore and she is able to make them for us! My house is so clean and she even cooks things and puts them in freezer containers so that we have complete meals ready to warm up when we need them. What a blessing it is to have an organization that helps people and makes life easier for them!” Joyce said they tell their Sisters and Brothers all the time what a helpful and wonderful experience this has been.
