Help the Elders

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

The acceptance and provision of more care for the elderly. The elderly are often forgotten and this cannot be anymore.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

It will help elderly people live longer, better lives. It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes another village to help an elder succeed and live a longer life. More elders in the community make it safer and can pass more culture.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

We need more social workers and care homes. We need programs that can benefit the elders, free rides, free medicine, or accessible.

Who would that help?

Elderly people and the general community

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

East Elmhurst
