I am 83 years old: alternatives to nursing homes when it is not possible to live alone.

One day, on my way to the store, I saw my neighbor Sara. Single mother, exhausted, on the verge of tears. Without thinking about it, I offered to pick up her daughter from school.

That’s how it all began.

I picked up Emma.
Sara left me food.
Her family helped me with what I could no longer do alone.

It was not charity. It was exchange. Community.

What I really needed
