"...I WAS ILL AND YOU COMFORTED ME, IN PRISON AND YOU VISITED ME..."
The elderly are so often abandoned in our society. CUP tries to reach out to those that we can and let them know that they are loved. Through visits and gifts for the holidays we help to ease their loneliness. Members of CUP's staff act as Guardians and Power of Attorney for those who have no family to act on their behalf. CUP assists many elderly to get their medication. We arrange doctor visits and help to provide transportation when we can. Unfortunately, many elderly die without family members available. Often it is CUP that provides for the funeral for such occasions and staff attends the funerals. The St Vincent de Paul often provides pallbearers for those with no family. |
