For years and years Mrs. E has looked forward to Sunday morning church services, especially listening to the choir.
These days Mrs. E rarely is able to attend church so she almost never gets to hear her beloved church choir perform.
For Christmas this year, Mrs. E would like a small hand-held cassette tape recorder and some cassette tapes. Her friends could tape record the choir performances for Mrs. E to enjoy at home.
Mrs. E lives alone on a limited income. She has arthritis, chronic sinus infections and fatigue.
Her home is always spotless, but Mrs. E has been troubled by her dirty windows. She is unable to wash them. Mrs. E would like a donation to pay for window cleaning.
She also enjoys Maxwell House decaf coffee, but she won't splurge on such a luxury. Mrs. E has trouble affording the groceries and medicine she needs each month. A gift certificate for groceries would also make a nice gift.
Mrs. E hasn't purchased new clothing for herself in many years. She would like new duster dresses and nightgowns, size 20, in bright colors. She also needs new house shoes and shoes, size 9 1/2. She needs queen-sized pantyhose, panties, size 10 or 11, a Spandex girdle, size 44 and a full white slip, size 42. She would also enjoy a warm winter hat.

Gifts or financial donations may be mailed to Christmas for the Elderly, P.O. Box 699, Cape Girardeau, Mo., 63702-0699. For more information call Kim McDowell at 335-6611.
