| Message | Sirs, I am desperately trying to get my friend and roommate to the WWII Memorial. He is a WWII Vet., in the Pacific. He is 87 years old and until recently was in very good health. We thought we possibly had time to try and save enough money for the trip. We dont! We are both very low/ disability incomes. Charlie's Alzheimer's is taking it's toll. He is still functioning well, though declining, and his frailty is has become quite evident this past year. Enough so I am desperately reaching out for your help. Charlie has never asked for much if anything (for as long as I have known him, approx 20 yrs) Never complains, etc. He's "mentioned" about "like to see the Memorial"... not once, which would be unusual for him... but multiple times now. I can't stress how unusual this is for him.. thus my determination to get him there. We will fill out the app on line. My question and problem is: Do you have a policy/program/suggestions on how to accomodate any "care provider" a Veteran might require?? I believe he would be ok to go it alone, although he himself is fearful of the possibility of me not being there... I have become his sense of security w/ the Alz. affecting his sense of confidence and security. I can't thank you enough for what you do and pray you can give me some ideas. I am also interested in learning about your volunteer program, requirements, commitments, etc. Most respectfully, Robin R. (4 Vet. Charles Hanson) |
