Dear John,
As only five hours remain for this year's Giving Tuesday, we're reminded of why your support is so important for Brenda and millions of other older adults.
Brenda, a 69-year-old Chicago resident, had been supplementing her income by writing and directing plays for local churches. But when that work came to an unexpected halt, Brenda struggled to make ends meet. Covering rent, bills, and groceries often felt impossible. But that all changed with the help of an NCOA counselor who enrolled Brenda in SNAP. "SNAP has been so helpful to me," Brenda shared. "I don't have to make those decisions between saving every spare dollar or putting food on the table." |
