Individual requests for help continue to pour in: this week there were 10 people needing help with medication and two for rent.

A valuable meeting was held with a pastor’s wife, [name deleted]. The morale of staff at a nursing home is low and plans are afoot to implement as support group for them.

In addition her daughter was involved in an Adopt-a-granny project at school which has since fallen away. She would like to revive the project and has asked for names of five grannies to begin with.
