Senior receives HELP

WYO HELP was recently made aware of a family that needed help. This family consists of grandparents caring for their grandchildren. The grandfather was recently diagnosed with a condition that makes moving difficult. Their old bathroom just didn't work for them anymore. The grandfather couldn't take a shower because he couldn't lift his leg high enough to get into the shower/tub combination.

Working with a local contractor, WYO HELP was able to remodel their bathroom to make it accessible. The old tub and surround were removed and a new walk in shower was installed with grab bars.

Now the grandfather is better able to care for himself and the family is better able to support themselves as they have faced increased medical expenses and cost.

We hear that the family is loving the new shower and appreciate that their loved one is better able to manage their care from home. This story is one of many from our new Senior HELP program that focuses on providing support for the many seniors who need help in our communities.

This is the story of Lynne, who reached out to Caleb at WYO Help upon the advice of the Senior Friendship Center when she could no longer get out of her stationery chair at home. WYO Help partnered with Vandal's Drug, where Russ coordinated the construction of a custom lift chair for her, with WYO Help using our resources to cover the expense. Lynne has been able to maintain her independence with a little help from her friends!
