Your Gift, Your Choice

Every day, older adults in Pima County face challenges that threaten their independence. Some older adults struggle to access nutritious food; others depend on family caregivers for support; and still others—like Mina R.—require a network of services to restore stability and dignity. 

When Mina’s family reached out to PCOA, they were overwhelmed. Her home had become unsanitary, she was unable to care for herself, and her family feared they had no choice but to move her into a facility out of concern for her health and wellbeing. But Mina wasn’t ready to leave the comfort of her home—and with PCOA’s guidance, Mina and her family found the support they needed to keep her safe and thriving at home. 

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, Mina’s life took a dramatic turn for the better. A compassionate PCOA case manager built trust with Mina and her family, and when she finally accepted help, everything changed. Because of donors like you, PCOA had the necessary resources to place Mina on the waitlist for home-delivered meals and housekeeping services—critical support that made her recovery possible. After her knee surgery, those regular, nutritious meals became the foundation of her recovery. Within six months, Mina was mobile, her home was clean, and she was thriving—able to remain safely and independently in the place she loves. 

Mina’s story is a powerful example of how PCOA’s programs—Pima Meals on Wheels, Family Caregiving Support, and the Emergency Fund—work together to ensure older adults receive the help they need, when they need it most. Your timely support ensures that older adults receive the help they need today.
