"When I first heard about the Caregiver Support Group, I knew immediately that I wanted to attend. At that time, I was helping care for a lady who had been diagnosed with Dementia. I wanted to learn all I could about the disease and how to more effectively care for this lady. I have found this group to be invaluable. I now have a much better understanding of Dementia. I've learned strategies for care-giving, ways to help my loved ones feel important and valued, ways to help loved ones functionon a daily basis and how to live well as they age; all without exhausting the care-giver. As someone who has a heart for caring for others, I now feel better equipped to care for anyone experiencing Dementia. Thank you for offering this Support Group."

"We have a severely handicapped person coming to live in our home within a couple of weeks, and I purchased a tub grab bar hoping to be able to install myself, but frankly not knowing how to do so. I learned from a friend that there are some men from our Cottonwood Creek Church that are pleased to help older folks like me. One phone call and an appointment was set. They showed up, and within an hour the grab bar was installed. I can relax knowing that our handicapped guest can comfortably and safely enjoy his daily shower."

"Our Creek 55+ pickleball group is bringing our church together. I’ve been in this church for 15 years and I have made more connections with this one activity than even joining a large life group! We pray together, exercise and socialize with a new group learning more about God’s people. We also have the ability for outreach inviting others from the community to participate with us here at the church."

"My first experience working with Handy Neighbors was doing yard work with the Creek Students on July 16. It really was a great time. All the kids had good attitudes and worked together well. Everybody got right to work trimming shrubs, pulling weeds, etc. We got everything cleaned up and were done in about three hours. I’m looking forward to my next assignment with Handy Neighbors."

Thank you Chuck for all your efforts in organizing the services today—that certainly takes considerable time and effort. The two recipients that we served were really appreciative. Enjoyed having the students and their leadership help. We love that our neighbors that we serve are wanting to "Pay-It-Forward" so others can be blessed and continue to live safely. Donations topped $400 which we will use to purchase supplies for our financially challenged neighbors who need our services.

"Your "pay-it-forward" donations are making a difference. We have been helping a young McKinney family for almost a year now since the dad "Gary" was diagnosed with cancer. They have an 8 year old child, and mom is juggling all the household tasks; home schooling and of course, multiple weekly trips to the doctor, hospital and providing care at home for Gary. Gary was their sole provider and was working from home until a few months ago. Please pray for Gary's healing and for the family. To add to their challenges, their garage door opener failed yesterday, so our leadership team, because we have the funds, made the unanimous decision to replace it with a brand new opener this Saturday morning. We could not have accomplished this so quickly and easily without the donations y'all graciously provide to the Handy Neighbors ministry."
