Lynda has been receiving Meals on Wheels for “quite a
while now – I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed anymore!” Lynda loves the
service, and says that it gives “structure and consistency to these days.”The
death of Lynda’s husband almost five years ago was “quite a blow” to her, and
she freely admits to getting lonely without him. “They keep saying that it gets
easier, but that hasn’t been my experience.”
Lynda suffers from scoliosis and arthritis and spends most
of her day in her recliner. Standing unaided for more than a few minutes is
extremely difficult and renders cooking almost impossible. She enjoys her
delivered meals and is “so grateful” that a service like Meals on Wheels
exists. “If y’all didn’t come to my door every day, I have no idea
what I would be eating, or if I’d even be living still. It’s nice to know that
y’all are looking out for me.”
Each day Meals on
Wheels for Greater Houston delivers 4,500 hot meals to homebound seniors in
Houston. If you pledge to help seniors
like Lynda during the holiday season, you gift will double. Shell Oil Company and Motiva Enterprises
LLC have generously agreed to match every dollar given during the holiday
season up to $50,000. That means you
have twice the power to help hungry seniors in Houston. Won’t you give today?
