Two families – our neighbor who has cancer and another person who has a disability. |
For our neighbor with cancer, we assisted in helping repair a fallen down fence. For the person we know with a disability whose caregiver is sick, we made hot meals, sides and desserts that they can easily heat up with no preparation. We delivered enough prepared food for for a week. |
