Maura's Story
"¡Garcias! ¡Gracias! Thank you, Project Angel Food." — Maura, Project Angel Food client
At 88, Maura lives with Alzheimer's, diabetes, and severe mobility challenges, so every meal is critical to her survival. For the past six years, Project Angel Food has delivered medically tailored meals that provide the nutrition she needs to stay safe and stable at home. Her son Roberto, who lives with her as her full-time caregiver, says, "Project Angel Food has helped her. She's not cured, but she's more aware and is alive today because of Project Angel Food. The food they bring is like her medicine because of the important nutrition it provides." Like 96% of the people we serve who say our meals reduce stress on their families, Roberto feels relief each time a staff driver or volunteer arrives with food "given by the heart." Every day, Project Angel Food delivers meals to 2,800 people like Maura who are facing serious illness, reminding them they are cared for and not alone.
