I am a very sincere and caring person. I want to help our senior citizens feel like they are wanted in our country and are loved at the same time. This is why I am searching for grants to care for the elderly, in their own home. I know approximately 95% of the elderly are sent to nursing homes and the other 5% are living with family. I know that when I'm a senior citizen I will want to live in my home as long as possible. This is where I come in. They need help for daily tasks. I want to give them this help. My parents and in-laws are in their 60's and 70's. My father and my father-in-law are both very ill and their wives are taking care of them as much as they know how and as much as they can. They both have very limited incomes (SSI, VA, and Social Security), as you all know this money is not very much to live on. There are hundreds of thousands of eldery that do not have the money or the resources to get them through life. Why must they struggle? Were they not helping to run this country in their younger years? Did they not go to war for our country and save many many lives? The answer to those questions and many others is YES! But what they hear now is no, I'm sorry you make $2.45 more than our policy asks for so we must deny you for assistance. So what happens, they either don't eat as much as they should because they need to buy medication or they cut their medicine in half of what they should be taken. This is America!! This is a country where we help each other and we are to be one of the richest countries in the world...where is the money for our elderly if this is so?

I need help with what I am trying to do. I can not do this on my own but am willing to put as much time and effort into helping the elderly and to make America understand that our government is not doing all they can do to help. I want to help the elderly in simple daily tasks (laundry, grocery, cleaning, organizing, fixing, etc.) and charge them by what their income is (I have to charge something due to having a college student and we all know how much that costs) and find a grant that will supliment what the cost will be after the client already paid. OR, have a grant that will pay for the entire service!

Please inform me at suekey1@aol.com, if you know of any grants that will help with this very serious program.

Thank you!
