Review for Sunnyvale Community Services, Sunnyvale, CA, USA
After retiring from SCS, I have volunteered for over 15 years. I see families that despite working three jobs have trouble making ends meet. One unexpected medical or car repair bill means they can¹t pay their rent or utility bill. Many seniors face staggering medical and prescription bills not covered by Medicare. Without financial aid and food, they face eviction, utility disconnections, and untreated medical problems. I was very moved by an 82 year old woman, who came for help for the first time in her life. She said, "By the time you have to ask for help, you¹re already depressed. Coming to a cheery place with caring people let¹s you keep your dignity."
