Non-Profit Business Helps Seniors Stay Independent In Their Homes:
Fundraiser at Quail Lodge & Golf Resort Set For August 8, 2015, A Royal Ball: A Proclamation For Change
Hands to Help Seniors, a non-profit agency located in Monterey, CA, is committed to serve the growing need of seniors seeking financial help in Monterey County. Founded by Richard Kuehn, the owner of Family inHome Caregiving of Monterey--a company which provides services to help seniors remain in their own homes and independent--Hands to Help Seniors is here to help those who can't afford to stay in their own homes and remain independent. It is providing a breadth and depth of services which is unprecedented for a non-profit, from putting a new roof on a senior's home to helping them with hospital bills.
H2HS has set the date for its gala event, A Royal Ball: A Proclamation For Change for August 8. This will be held at Quail Lodge & Golf Reseort with a wine reception and silent auction at 6:30. This will be followed by a 3-course dinner where Hands To Help Seniors volunteers will explain their vision for helping seniors in financial need all over the Monterey Peninsula. Tickets are $150 and can be purchased at www.h2hs.org/2015Gala.html.
We are here to help and hopefully alleviate some of the problems that seniors have suffered from recently after a rash of government budget cuts to senior services at both the state and federal levels. In order to carry out our mission, we need your support.
Hands to Help Seniors provides an affordable assistance program for older individuals or couples to help them manage their needs so they may stay as independent as possible. About 70% of seniors living on less than $18K per year in Monterey County don't qualify for public assistance, a sad situation. Please help them if you can.
We are here to help. When a potential client calls the company, if they are financially qualified, Hands to Help Seniors will arrange a meeting with the senior and his or her family to discuss what services are needed. “The company will then determine what financial assistance is needed for them to meet their goals and provide them with an overview of how Hands to Help Seniors may be able to help,” Mr. Kuehn said. The non-profit has already raised over $100,000 in its first five years of existence
