Pledge Your Support for Citymeals and New Yorkers Like Ethel

Ethel is 98 years old and lives in Queens. Known as a caretaker among her family and friends, her neighbors joke that she helps everyone but herself. These days however, Ethel is homebound — and now she’s the one who needs support.

As a result of glaucoma and cataracts, Ethel has weak vision. She also suffers from arthritis, pinched spinal nerves and carpal tunnel syndrome, which make everyday tasks like walking and cooking extremely painful.

There are over 175,000 frail aged New Yorkers like Ethel who need help: regular meals, basic nutrition and human companionship. Pledge your support for Ethel and the homebound elderly in your neighborhood.
