At 89, Wade is the primary caregiver for his wife, who is legally blind: “She wants to be here with me. I can handle anything.” Wade and his wife rely on Citymeals' deliveries since she’s unable to cook, and he struggles with arthritis in his hands. 💙

Of all the meals our volunteer Letisha has delivered, one stands out. After climbing four flights of stairs, she was out of breath. She couldn’t imagine our meal recipient climbing all four flights while carrying groceries. “It’s heartbreaking—but encouraging that services like Citymeals exist."
