WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY!

I want to give a loud shout out to Next Village in SF. It’s an organization that provides services to seniors to enable them to remain in their homes as long as possible. Services like rides to doctors, or to grocery store or shopping or checking on a member who has a medical procedure or a million other things that seniors who are alone can’t do for themselves.

Last week, the executive director of Next Village SF probably saved my life. She called to see how I was doing after a procedure. didn’t like the way I sounded, came over immediately, looked at me and called 911. I was in the hospital for 4 days with what they ultimately discovered was pneumonia.

This is not a sexy organization. It’s difficult to raise money because what they do is so personal and without publicity. Next is part of a national Villlage movement. If you know someone who lives alone, tell them to find a Village in their community. It’s like having family around when there is no family around.

Thank you for the disaster kit! NEXT Village SF has prepared me for the worst scenario with supplies and by connecting me to my neighbors.

Dear JZ & Molly and all members of NextVillageSF,

I recieved the gift of an earthquake bag from you yesterday. I was so startled at the comprehensiveness of the bag. Everything I could ever imagine needing and even more. Thank you for all of this, it may well be a lifesaver.

-Gratefully,
Betty

Thank you both so much for all your help! From the front door to the bathroom you helped make my home functional, and then there is the computer! Amazing! And the fact Juan did research and acutally figured out how to bring my Lazarus dead computer back to life, TWICE, is a story I’ll tell forever. He is such a kind, gentle, brilliant man. I am so grateful for his time and energy spent on my behalf, and I think you know how very much I value you and Next Village in my life. I was literally having ‘computer nightmares’ and worried all the time about being cut off from so much of my life because of my computer.

“I can’t tell you what a relief it is to have had your help. I could not have done it without you!”

“On my own I would not have undertaken this task of moving the refrigerator. WELL, IT IS DONE. Two very nice people. It was an excellent idea of NEXT Village.”

“Many thanks for dropping by today. It boosted my outlook on life considerably just to know that, at Next Village, people care.”

“Thanks for inviting me to this event. I also enjoyed the lunch and meeting a lot of very nice people.”
