Vernon and His Wife Ate Twice a Day to Afford Food All Month

You’ve heard it in the news.

When budgets are stretched, older adults are forced to make tough decisions. The choice could be between:

• Buying food OR getting a prescription
• Paying the utility bill OR buying gas to get to work and the doctor 

What about only eating twice a day, so your food can last a whole month? Or paying for cancer treatments or simply going without? 

What if both of these were a reality for you? It was for 65-year-old Vernon and his wife.

"I noticed my dad looking a little thinner," Vernon’s daughter tearfully told our benefits counselor.

NCOA connected the family to life-changing benefits that mean her parents don’t have to keep choosing this OR that. Now, her parents CAN eat three times a day and afford nutritious food—and that can have a positive impact on their health.

"Being eligible for these benefits is a lifesaver for my parents,” she told us.

Change the world for someone in need, like Vernon and his wife. Your gift will make a difference for millions of older adults (and daughters) everywhere!
