CRC Newsletter April 3

Hi everyone,

Here is the CRC newsletter for April 3rd:

We have an urgent need for a lot of top soil to use in our gardens in preparation for the big launch on April 14 & 15. If anyone can donate some, please contact Joe at crcvista@gmail.com

From Senior Services:

I’m working with a lady who is in need of a monthly bus pass. She is able to get a discounted pass for $32, but cannot afford to purchase one for April.  If you can donate $32, please contact me as soon as possible (savannah.turner@clintonvillecrc.org) . Thank you very much! Savannah  

 One of the senior ladies I am working with is in need of AAA batteries for her blood pressure monitor. If you can help with this need, please contact me at savannah.turner@clintonvillecrc.org  -Thanks! Savannah

I work with an older lady who lives alone. She only has one phone in her home and it is not portable—so she often misses phone calls (it is difficult for her to get to the phone in time). This lady would greatly benefit from having an answering machine and a portable phone.  Please let me know if you can help with this need. Thanks! Savannah- savannah.turner@clintonvillecrc.org

I’m working with a 67 year old man who is sleeping on a broken couch which is too short for his stature of 6’3”.  He has chronic pain related to a bad back and could really use a longer twin sized bed so he could sleep peacefully at night.  He is on SSI and does not have the resources to purchase a bed.  If you are able to assist this gentleman please contact barbcooper@clintonvillecrc.org  Thanks!

I have a senior whose vacuum cleaner is no longer working.  She is on a fixed income, raising two grandchildren and does not have the funds to purchase a new one.   She and one grandchild have asthma so keeping the carpet in her apartment as clean as possible is of import to their health.  If anyone could provide her with a vacuum cleaner it would be so greatly appreciated!  Please contact barbcooper@clintonvillecrc.org if you can assist.

 I have an 89 year old woman who is needing to monitor her blood pressure.  She had a donated automatic blood pressure monitor that stopped working.  She is on a very limited income and cannot afford a replacement.  If you are able to assist this dear woman please contact a.taylor@clintonvillecrc.org

Kinship Care:

I am working with a family who has 6 children and they are in need of a set of bunkbeds. If you can help please email me at charlotte.law@clintonvillecrc.org. Thank you!
