“I don’t want to leave my home – where would I go?”
Mabel moved to Bethesda 7 years ago after losing her beloved husband, Arthur, to cancer. Without him by her side, she was apprehensive about making such a big move alone.
But, with quiet determination, Mabel’s new Bethesda apartment slowly became her home. At Bethesda, she was thriving, making friends – finding peace, joy, and happiness for the first time since Arthur’s passing.
Until last December when Mabel, 87, realized she could no longer sustain her monthly expenses, especially her rent, on her fixed income. Increasing medical needs and prescriptions made her bills overwhelming.
She was sure she’d be asked to move. She found herself thinking, “I don’t want to leave my home – where would I go?”
Thankfully, through the generosity of people like you, Mabel is celebrating the holidays this year in her Bethesda home amongst her treasured friends.
She is among the many residents benefiting from your support of the Humanitarian Care Program. Because of you, residents who have outlived their financial resources will never be asked to leave their Bethesda home.
Your support has never been more crucial. I hope you will consider a special holiday gift so that Bethesda residents, like Mabel, have the peace of mind and the security of a forever home at Bethesda.
