Gifts from a Secret Pal

          Family has always been a central part of 81-year old Annie's life, so keeping in touch means a great deal to her.  She sees various family members all the time: at least one person a week.  She’s also fortunate to have one daughter who helps around the house.  But despite her close ties to family, none can help Annie  financially.  As a result, she has had to do without many things,  including what many would consider necessities, such as a working telephone.

          Annie grew up in Mississippi.  After moving to Chicago, she lived on the South Side for 13 years.  There she worked at a hospital, a laundromat, and a caterer.  Married several times, she has seven children who now live all over the world.  She has lived at her current residence for the past four years.

          Good food is something Annie really enjoys, especially greens, grapes, bananas, oranges, apples, chicken, beef, and fish.  So she definitely looks forward to receiving her 90-pound grocery delivery each month, including five varieties of fresh fruits, six varieties of fresh vegetables, seven selections of frozen meats, five bags of non-perishable goods, and one bag of paper products and personal care items.

         Annie takes heart medication and has high blood pressure.  Bad knees also trouble her and she gets cortisone shots for one.  She wears hearing aids and could really use new glasses.  Her lifestyle, though, includes activities such as walking with a neighbor and going out with a friend.  Bingo, puzzles, shopping, crossword puzzles, computer games, and watching T.V. also keep her busy.

         Annie has a monthly income of $699.  Her rent and monthly expenses total $78.  With assistance from HSP, her monthly delivery of nutritious food will ensure that she eats right to stay healthy and active.  As a member of the HSP family, we will be there to help Annie get through these difficult times.
