I had breakfast yesterday with Harris Bank President Susan Oleari, who expressed the same frustration from a banker's side. The current situation of declining credit scores and loss of equity in people's homes is preventing banks from making credit worthy loans. Keep trying to get free press through articles in your local paper and work through other organizations like your church as you have already started. Your thinking is on target and your problems are those of many others. With your passion, I am sure you will find a way. Eva,

Until this day I have been unable to get funding of any such. I have worked with senior for the last fifteen years and its a passion I have. Its just so hard to get funding of any sort to start up my program. There are so many senior here that need our help and support so to not be able to do what I love hurt more than anything.I am writing to get some type of help, whether it be promoting or whatever. I also started a program for teen pregnancy and at-risk kids same problem can't get funding. I started a summer reading program for kids at my church 12:oop- 3:00p Monday - Thursday at our main library on N18th st. I just pray thay God would send a financial blessing so I can be a blessing to someone else. Thank You to whomever is taking out time from your busy schedule read this . May God continue to bless you and keep up the good work. Iam in the process of opening a Elderly Care/Senior companion program here in Monroe, La.
