Denver Lions Receive Thanks for Promoting Health with a Mini Refrigerator
The Denver Lions have had opportunities to help people with life changing service through community relationships and working with others to find solutions to problems. This time a purchase that cost less than $100 made a major impact.
A 51 year old single female, with no family or friends in the Denver area, was in the hospital for about seven months due to severe health issues. She is currently living in a nursing home and funded by medicaid, but the food options have been insufficient given her cultural background and the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. Because healthy food is so crucial to her recovery, the nursing home agreed to let her have a mini-fridge so she could have a supply of fresh food. The mini-fridge Denver Lions purchased for her is a HUGE step in helping this woman stabilize her health, as reported by her case manager.
