| Help Now | This gentleman suffered a stroke. He has been in an assisted living/memory careUpdate: The following items have been donated: couch, chair, TV stand, kitchen table and chairs, coffee table and book shelf. Thank you to several donors for your generosity! This man still needs the kitchen items listed below. I am looking for help for a disabled gentleman that has worked hard to overcome the physical disadvantages left by a stroke. His independent spirit and hard work has helped him regain enough use of his body to leave an assisted living/memory care facility and move to an apartment in Belle Plaine. He will be moving in Oct 1st, and he desperately needs help with furnishings. His daughter was able to find him a bed that fit him (he?s 6?4?), and he has a tv. This gentleman is humble, and feels fortunate for what he does have. He still needs a couch (with arms), a coffee table, 2 end tables, a tv stand (as tv/movies will provide most of his home-bound entertainment), kitchen table (he currently has a card table) and chairs, pots, pans, utensils, plates, glassware, silverware and a dish-rack. Gift cards (in any amount) to any store that carries these items would also help. He has no transportation so would also need assistance with getting the items to the apartment. Thank you for considering this need, and for any item(s) you can assist with.Submitted by: St. John Lutheran Church - Belle Plaine | Belle Plaine | Yes | N/A | Completed | |
