Ms. N has no family in this area and several health issues which impede her walking. Her Social Security income and food stamps just barely cover her bills and grocery, but she could really use some tennis shoes and snow boots, size 6 1/2 wide, a winter coat, size XL, shirts size 1X and sweat pants, size 1X. A gift card to Walmart would enable her to purchase other needed clothing.
You can help Ms. N and other needy elderly people in our area by buying these needed items, including grocery gift cards and personal grooming and cleaning supplies and delivering them to the Southeast Missourian, 301 Broadway. Monetary donations can also be sent to Christmas for the Elderly, P.O. Box 4, Cape Girardeau, MO 63702.
