Client Story – Lora K., Hollywood, FL
July 2024
Programs Benefited From:
1. Emergency Meal Program
2. FPL Hurricane Box Program
3. Claris Companion Tablet Program
In early July 2024, Client Lora reached out to Meals on Wheels South Florida (MOWSOFLO) through the website’s ‘Contact Us’ form after struggling to find meal services in her area. The MOWSOFLO team quickly responded, providing her with emergency meals, which were delivered on the same business day by a staff member. Lora was deeply grateful for the support, especially as she faced ongoing challenges with her health.
Along with the meals, Lora received a flyer detailing the Claris Companion Tablet Program. Interested in the opportunity, she expressed a desire to receive a tablet. Within days, the tablet was delivered by another MOWSOFLO staff member. Lora was thrilled with this grant-funded item, noting that her internet had been unreliable, and she was excited to explore the tablet’s wide array of features.
On July 15, 2024, a second round of meals was delivered to Lora due to the severity of her health issues. She confided that without Meals on Wheels, she often felt isolated, sharing that, “sometimes it feels like I have no one else who cares.”
By September 2024, Lora had become one of the top five users of the Claris Companion Tablet, continuing to stay in touch with MOWSOFLO for ongoing support. Additionally, in June 2024, Lora received a hurricane preparedness kit through the FPL Hurricane Box Program, ensuring she was ready for the upcoming storm season.
Lora's story is one of resilience and gratitude, and she remains an active participant in the programs that continue to support her well-being.
