When HELP Can't Wait exists to supply very current needs for the comfort and convenience of nursing home residents that cannot be readily funded by the facility where they reside. With Health care costs and minimum wage rising, these facilities are stretched to fund the regulated needs. "Quality of Life" items are simply the last to be funded as a result. The average stay in a long term facility has dropped from 3 years to 2.5. The target population are all at/or below the poverty level. Today's residents simply Cannot Wait for Funding - We Must Act NOW!!
CHRISTMAS in the Nursing Homes this year was joyous! We received such wonderful help from businesses and civic groups and churches who assisted with gifts, parties, and caroling. Our sincere thanks to all the generous hearts that helped bring much needed comfort and joy to our residents.
To the many who dropped gifts off at our office - your gifts will keep on giving into the New Year. The gifts of cash were also very welcome and much needed. May God richly bless all of you in the New Year!

WHCW and Sam's Club helped celebrate a beautiful lady's 100th Birthday this past week! A beautiful gift of soft pink gown/robe and slippers and toiletries in her favorite color: cranberry. Sam's Club donated a nice sheet cake with her name on it and all the residents helped eat every bite!! This is just one of the many enjoyable services we are able to share with our nursing home residents. Congratulations to our birthday girl!

NEWS FLASH! There are Angels among us. For two years we have enjoyed Air Force men and women from Ft Gordon, GA assisting us in visits to the Nursing Homes, hosting parties for them, delivering gifts and helping us with fund raisers that sometimes brought them out at 4:00 a.m. to help set-up.
Our primary liaison is readying for an immediate tour of Afghanistan and our heart will go with him. He has recruited his replacement, but he will be sorely missed.
We ask that you join us in praying for all these brave young people who protect our country and give so much of themselves, unselfishly. Our sincere thanks to the Commanders at Ft Gordon who encourage their volunteerism. We can all be very proud of these young Americans who show such love and compassion for our Nursing Home residents.
