American Legacies Org, Inc. is a Not-For-Profit Organization that offers a FREE SERVICE, where we meet with, record and preserve the lifetime and/or family memories of American Seniors.
We also have a program where we meet with seniors at public restaurants, in order to dine with them on special occasions, such as on their birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.
We are currently in the process of considering a new program that will entail assisting Seniors that are on a limited income and need a little help taking care of their yard work, home, major appliances, etc.
For example, we realize there is a Non-Profit Organization that will use non-paid volunteers to build a new home for certain families.
But what we want to do is find individuals that have lived in a home they owned for decades that is filled with lots of memories, but need help maintaining the grass, changing filters on a furnace, repairing a leaky faucet, patching a roof or building a handicapped ramp.
We realize people can pay professionals to take care of these projects, however as the wages and prices of professional companies continue to rise, along with their insurance rates, medicine costs and taxes, it can become more and more of a struggle for some seniors to cover all of their needs.
Our Board of Directors will be meeting shortly in order to discuss all of the particulars on this new project, however in the meantime, we would like to get some feedback from the general public as to what type assistance you think would be needed and appreciated the most.
