Hey everyone!!! This is post number two for the day (I know aren't you so lucky!!) but it is one that is near and dear to my heart. My mom, Betty, is on a mission to get senior citizens added to the WIC program in order to provde them with the necessary nutrients that they need to live happily and healthy in their golden years. She has shared the story of my grandmother on the facebook site Help Our Senior Citizens that she created. She, along with many other friends and family, have emailed and petitioned local and state government officials to assist in this endeavor. I know from working in the medical field how many seniors have to choose their medication over food and bills, and this program would provide them with dairy, bread, and other food that is important in the prevention and control of osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension, and many other illnesses. Mom is currently looking for anyone who has a story of a senior citizen who has been in these type of situations. Please visit her facebook page at the above link, or email her at brlchild@bellsouth.net with your story or ideas of how to help.
Our government has already taken so much away from them. It is time for us to help. After all, they have protected and cared for us and helped us be halty and successful.
In Chrisian Love.
