my name is lucy bravo. hello. i am a member of the senior center community. i have spent many hours, and i am help -- at the -- happy and healthy because of the community. i am here to talk about home delivered meals. 10 years ago, i became a widow. at that time it was a busy and tragic time. i just did not know what i was going to do. the care i had to give my husband was tremendous. when i was sitting, crying at the breakfast table by myself, this thought came into my head. home delivered meals. home delivered meals. why did i not think of that before? i made a call to the center and i was directed to the person in charge of home delivered meals. within two days she was at my home, assessing my situation. and within three days, i had my first home delivered meal. i was so thankful that every day, when that man or woman came to my door between 12:00 and 1:00, i said it is thanksgiving day. i thank you so much, because i do not ever want those home delivered meals to be cut back. they are truly important, when they are in need. when healthy, seniors do a lot.
