After my daughter moved to Canada I wasn't sure how I was going to do without her help, but luckily I was told about Meals on Wheels and Age Well. The meals have made life stable for both her and I. I know she does not have to worry as much, and neither do I. On top of that the senior center has filled my days with so much joy and friendship that I did not expect."
