Ms. Lillian is 74 years old and lives alone on a fixed income. After paying rent and utilities, there is often little left for the basic items many of us take for granted — soap, toothpaste, fresh food, or even transportation to a doctor’s appointment.

Like many seniors in our community, Ms. Lillian doesn’t ask for help. She quietly manages, even when it’s hard.

When Open Arms 101 met her, what she needed most wasn’t just a care package — it was to be seen.

Through OA101, Ms. Lillian received essential supplies, health education, and support connecting her to resources that made daily life safer and more manageable. Just as importantly, she gained something that can’t be packed into a box: reassurance that she is not alone.

Ms. Lillian’s story is not unique.

Every week, OA101 meets seniors who are isolated, navigating health challenges, and stretching limited incomes to survive. Through our care packages, workshops on topics like diabetes, heart health, and scam prevention, as well as case management and counseling, we work to restore dignity, comfort, and connection.

This is why we care for our seniors.

Your donation helps ensure that seniors like Ms. Lillian receive not only the essentials they need, but the respect and compassion they deserve.
