Young people would you be willing to adopt a grandparent?

Question

My son's and my Grandchildren live no where near me. I need help around my house. There are programs for seniors,That provide these type of services free of charge but I am 59 years old and I don't qualitify. Because of age. I have one year to go. My income is low enough if I were old enough. I am very disabled. I need a young person who would like a grandma, to help with things like housework, take me to the store, maybe cook a meal for me now and then.Maybe just spend a little time just visiting? I live in a rather Large Senior Building and I can't get out to go to church outside of the building so that the Church Youth group can help. We do our own services right here in the Building by ourselves.There are Grandpa's in need of help who are falling through the cracks as well. Do you think that there would be enough intrest in the teen/young adult community to help older people out with out pay?

Answer 1

I'm sure there are some good-hearted teens out there who would be willing to help out. Do you live near a college or community college? Some collegges do this kind of service project through the fraternities/sororities, or just as a separate group. If there is one near you, or even a high school, you could talk to someone to see if they'd be willing to start up such a program.

Answer 2

I think you can still contact a church even though you are not a member they may still have a youth program that helps seniors who are not able to get out. Yo could even contact your local newspaper and ask if a reporter would be willing to do a story on you and others in your condition. You never know it could work.

Answer 3

i think with the right publicity, you could get BRAGALINA to adopt you.

Answer 4

my sister does this.... I think there are outlets if you look at the right places!...

Answer 5

Actually I would so i could claim you on my taxes...
