When *Henry*, a local senior, lost his housing during an extended hospital stay, he wasn’t sure how he would get by. Over the years he'd misplaced some of his legal documents, which made it much harder to access benefits or assistance.

Thanks to you, a case manager from Catholic Community Service was there to help. After meeting Henry at a local emergency shelter, they sat down together and made a to-do list for Henry and helped him work through each step, from getting proof of income through Social Security and Public Assistance to getting his medical needs covered through Medicare.

After a few weeks of hard work by Henry and his case manager, Henry was able to move into a local assisted living center with his costs covered and needs met, and supportive staff looking after him. Henry told us he is very happy in his new accommodation and relieved to have his home and health needs settled.

Thank you for supporting our elderly neighbors like Henry.

One of our lovely local seniors, *Agnes*, has developing dementia. But as anyone would, she wishes to remain in her own home for as long as possible.

Thanks to you, support is there to make that possible. Every day, Agnes call her local CCS senior center to make sure that she is on the meal delivery list, and staff are happy to spend the time on the phone with her to see how she’s doing and offer a point of connection. Often after a meal has been delivered, staff speak with her again to tell her what the meal was for that day or the day before so she can find it in her fridge, fresh and waiting for her.

Agnes is a cherished member of our community, and by bringing her a meal and checking in each day while her family is at work, we can help her stay in her home longer, surrounded by people who know and love her.

Thank you for being there for her.

Keeping our kids safe requires the collaboration of our whole community, from parents, friends and neighbors to law enforcement and child advocates.

We’re always amazed at how resilient little kids are when they take a big fall–most of the time they just dust themselves off and keep on going! But as most us know from experience, that ability to bounce back tends taper off the older we get.

For seniors and elders, falls are the leading cause of injury, resulting in all sorts of tricky secondary problems like bruising, bone fractures, and even TBIs. And though changes in vision, balance, and stability do come with age, there are plenty of steps that we can take to minimize our risk of falling and create a safer environment.

This handy resource from the National Council on Aging has a lot of great tips about how you can increase you or your loved ones’ resiliency and manage the risks.

Many people think falls are a normal part of aging. The truth is, they’re not. Learn more about the 10 common myths—and the reality—about older adult falls.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month! Every April, organizations, parents, and community members rally together to support and protect children in our community and share resources about how to keep them safe.

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing some resources about online safety, recognizing the signs of harm, and other useful info put together by our friends at the Alaska Children's Trust, so together we can ensure our next generation has the tools and environment they need to thrive!
