Connie lives on a fixed income. Social Security is all of it, and by the time it arrives each month, it’s already spoken for.

When she found the senior living community where she wanted to live, one thing stood between her and the front door: a significant deposit. Move-in fees come due all at once, with no warning and no time to save for them.

A SHORE micro-grant covered part of those fees. Connie moved in.

“While living on a fixed income and Social Security, the SHORE grant was instrumental in helping cover move-in fees at the community.”

Now she has an address, neighbors, and a plan to stay as long as she can.

We asked Connie what she’d say to the board members and donors who made her grant possible.
