Are you feeling overwhelmed by expenses you can’t afford?
You are not alone.
It is not uncommon for women 60 and older who live in our area to find themselves in occasional financial difficulty. Many older women are a single emergency away from the urgent need for financial assistance — the very assistance it is NSRAW’s mission to provide.
Letter of Appreciation
“ Thank you so much [for covering the cost of my car repairs] and providing
me with reliable transportation…..Your kindness has opened many doors that have previously been closed to me. Your intervention on my behalf has also raised my spirits and renewed my faith in the kinness of others.
i am also grateful for the gift certificate to Walgreen’s, as this will allow me to receive my prescription medications in a timely fashion.
Once again, my heartfelt thanks and prayers go out to you for helping me during a very rough patch in my life.”
Very gratefully,
A recent NSRAW client
