Dixie and Samuel are a resilient couple. Both endured the loss of their previous partners. Then two years ago, their shared home burned down. Together with friends like you, the couple is now looking to a more hopeful future.
Previously, Dixie worked at a hotel, but she’s currently out of work as she prepares to undergo surgery. As a result of a major car accident several years ago, Samuel can no longer work but receives Social Security Disability assistance.
Dixie says she’s in the process of applying for Medicare benefits insurance, but in the meantime, the couple’s bills often outweigh their fixed income — and leave little, if any, leftover for food.
Thanks to your partnership, Dixie can pick up healthy food from Family Life and Mission Outreach, a Food Bank partner agency in Windthorst.
Typically, the food lasts the couple three weeks and Dixie shared that she really enjoys the chicken and fresh fruits that she receives and uses to prepare nutritious meals.
“The people are great. You couldn’t ask for better people. They will help you,” Dixie says of the friends she has met at Family Life and Mission Outreach. “They’ll talk you through whatever you’re going through.”
Thank you for being a part of this helping community by giving generously for neighbors like Dixie and Samuel.
