Grandma Linguere’s Story
Growing Older Should Not Mean Being Forgotten
Grandma Linguere has spent a lifetime surrounded by family and community. Today, as she grows older, her world is becoming increasingly difficult to see.
She needs surgery to restore sight in one of her eyes. The estimated cost—approximately $800—is beyond what she can afford.
Like many older adults in underserved communities, Grandma Linguere depends on members of her extended family for her daily needs. Her story reflects a much larger reality: when healthcare is inaccessible, treatable conditions can become life-changing disabilities.
