Senior Needs funds to purchase deck boards to replace unsafe rotten ones.eck boards
An elderly man living below the Federal Poverty Guidelines of only $1254.00 a month, is in need of fifteen to twenty replacement boards that are 20' long in dimension, to make his deck safe again. A supporting post also has dry rot that needs to be replaced. He can do the work himself but can't afford the approximately $450.00 to purchase these materials. He continues to live in his own home independently and wants to remain there as long as it is safe. He was referred to other programs such as the Medicare Savings Program which will help him pay for his Medicare premiums. Having the additional $175.00 back in his Social Security check each month will help him in his monthly expenses but approval from the county social services where he was advised to apply, may take a while. He also was referred from the CAP Agency's Energy Assistance Program to the Chore Coordinator for help staying in his home. Since he is so low-income, other resources were explored such as local food shelves along with Loaves and Fishes, which provides a hot meal four nights a week.$0.00 of $450.00
