Donna has always been a caregiver, devoting her life to nursing and tending to countless patients. Today, her most important patient is her husband, Jim, whose health is failing, and he can no longer work.
She never thought she would be on the receiving end of the kindness and care she has extended to others.
We all have needs, and we all have hard times.”
– Donna
Between medical bills and rising rent, Donna and Jim cannot afford their basic needs. They’ve cut down on their expenses, including food. A volunteer from a local food pantry supported by Second Harvest Food Bank began delivering groceries to Donna and Jim’s doorstep.
“It was a lifesaver,” says Donna. “Without it, I don’t know what we would have done.”
Each week Donna receives a box of groceries filled with meat, eggs, bread, produce and pantry items like oatmeal, rice and soup. The stability and security Donna and Jim have with regular access to healthy, nutritious food means they can focus on their health.
“This is where I am now. This is not where I want to be,” says Donna. “But I can work towards where I want to be, thanks to you.”
