IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

I met an 89-year-old woman named Lily in 1998.

Lily, who was born with Polio, spent her life walking with walking sticks, and as she aged, she was confined to a wheelchair. Although limited, she was full of spunk and didn't let her handicap get in the way! She lived a healthy (food) lifestyle.

As I got to know Lily, I learned she had lived alone for over 50 years! She lived in the same house, in Sunnyslope, AZ, for all those years. She never had any children, and her husband left her early. Even though alone, she still wore her Black hills gold wedding ring, which she cherished. I still feel a special connection to her, as I have had the honor of wearing her ring since she gave it to me before her death.

When I met Lily, she had not left her home in over 20 years, not even going outside. Lily was alone and lived on one meal daily (from Meals on Wheels). From the moment I met her, I could not help but want to help her in any way that I could. I found myself over there every week. I would even bring my kids, who adored her as much as I did. We would make her breakfast or lunch, and she loved getting ice cream just as much as we loved getting it for her. She never asked for help, but I was determined to help her with her quality of life! I had recruited my friends to take care of her lawn, and we would all help clean her house and prepare light meals for her to eat on the days we could not be there. Once she realized she could trust me, she would call me often to talk and see when we were coming over again. She was one of a kind!

After spending a lot of time with Lily and getting to know her, I discovered that her neighbors had been stealing her little money. I didn't know what to do when I found out, but I felt it was my duty to help her, so I contacted Adult Protective Services. My heart was broken when I learned they transferred her to a nursing home, where she was away from the only home she had known for 50 years. I went to visit, and all she would do, at that point, was cry and ask to go home. After a short stay at that home, she moved again, and because I was not a family member or a legal guardian, they would not tell me where they moved her to. Days that felt like months went by that. I thought of her for hours, wondering where she was and how she was coping. During those long weeks, for some strange reason, one day, I flipped through the paper, read the obituaries, and was shocked and saddened to see Lily had passed away. I learned that her funeral was that very day, so I grabbed my friend and went to the cemetery to see her one last time. When we arrived, we noticed the only two people who showed up were the two who had stolen from her. This was a sad way to end our journey, but I will never forget Lily and how she touched my life.

The day Lily died, I became determined to be a Senior Advocate. I never want to see what happened to Lily happens to anyone else.

Let's work together to ensure you or your family member has the right to "age gracefully" in a comfortable living space.

Lily, this is for you!
