Within societies across the United States, the elderly add great value after having obtained years of wisdom and experience. The younger counterparts growing in the community learn a lot from the elderly through advice given in conversation as they grow to a developed age. It is our responsibility to make sure the older generation in our neighborhoods are taken care of. There is a lot we can take away from being in the presence of the elderly.

Many are equipped with a plethora of wisdom and information to pass on to the younger generations, however their bodily strength isn’t where it once was. Sometimes help is needed to accomplish tasks that demand more strength from the body.

Agnes has been living alone for years. When she reached the age of 90, help was one thing she was in dire need of.

Trash and other items were filling her yard, as a result of her family using it as dump grounds. Not only were items covering her yard, but they also reeked of a terrible odor.

As a result of the terrible sight, her neighbors began to complain to the city authorities. The city informed Agnes that if the mess was not cleaned up she would have to pay a fine of $2,500 a day until it was cleared.

Though the public was complaining about the appearance and smell of her yard, her home was suffering from downfall as well.

It was falling apart and living there in a healthy manner was proving to be a challenge for Agnes. The roof of her house had fallen apart, her air conditioning had stopped working and animals were freely coming and going.

Agnes wanted to clean the mess from her yard, but her physical condition would not allow her to complete such a large task on her own. Walking was a challenge for her. Her husband had passed away and there was no one close by to lend a helping hand.

As a result of having no one there to help, Agnes reached out to Operation Blessing. This organization had been described as one to offer disaster relief, medical and health care, hunger relief, community development along with a number of other services for human need.

Operation Blessing instantly came to her aid after hearing the story of her suffering. They would clear her backyard and break down the broken shed and trailer that were also located on her property. The wonderful organization of Operation Blessing came to the need of Agnes and were able to save her from future debt and a very stressful situation harmful to her health.
