Help our community recover and rebuild from COVID-19. Give to one of our areas of action: isolated seniors, families in need or mental health and addictions.
For seniors like Kay, COVID-19 has forced upon them increased isolation in a world that had already become increasingly lonely. “Can you imagine what it’s like to be months in your little apartment? Not able to go out, not able to get what you need?” Thanks to United Way’s More than Meals program, seniors are getting healthy meals delivered to their homes and a valuable connection to the outside world.
Mental health and addiction challenges can be hard to talk. The stigma surrounding the subject can keep people from asking for help. Tracy broke her silence and got assistance through the Mental Health Recovery Partners, a United Way funded agency, and now she has her life back.
“When I learned that my daughter, Nadine, was reading at a pre-K level in grade 2, it felt like a punch to the gut. I’m a single mother of four kids…I was so busy, I didn’t realize she was floating under the radar,” said Jayce, Nadine’s mother.
