Hasta hace cinco a\u00f1os, Eugene Allen nunca hab\u00eda vivido solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimplemente nunca me adapt\u00e9 realmente y a encargarme de todo yo solo\u201d, dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eugene, de 85 a\u00f1os, vive en el apartamento de Richfield donde vivi\u00f3 con su esposa, Ellen, durante 54 a\u00f1os. Se jubil\u00f3 despu\u00e9s de una carrera en administraci\u00f3n de empresas, donde trabaj\u00f3 con hospitales y desarrolladores de viviendas para personas mayores. Criaron a sus dos hijos en Shakopee, donde Ellen era maestra de escuela y tambi\u00e9n ense\u00f1aba ingl\u00e9s como segundo idioma a adultos fuera del horario escolar regular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellen estaba particularmente orgullosa de su trabajo ense\u00f1ando a adultos somal\u00edes que se mudaron a la zona en la d\u00e9cada de 1990, dice Eugene. \u201cTodos dec\u00edan: si quieres aprender ingl\u00e9s, ve con la Sra. Allen\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Familia<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Los Allen con sus dos hijos, Neil y Ryan.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eugene siempre asumi\u00f3 que Ellen lo sobrevivir\u00eda, pero hace unos cinco a\u00f1os ella falleci\u00f3. Adaptarse a la vida sin ella fue dif\u00edcil, al igual que establecer nuevas rutinas y procurarse alimento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al igual que Eugene, el 711 % de los beneficiarios de las comidas viven solos. Preparar con regularidad comidas que formen parte de una dieta equilibrada puede suponer un reto para las personas mayores que viven solas, especialmente para aquellas con movilidad reducida o con un presupuesto limitado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como Ellen se encargaba de gran parte de la cocina, Eugene no ten\u00eda la experiencia para obtener la variedad en su dieta que necesitaba cuando cocinaba para s\u00ed mismo. Cuando un amigo le mencion\u00f3 Meals on Wheels, pens\u00f3 en probarlo. Se puso en contacto con Comidas a domicilio Crosstown<\/a>, su programa vecinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeals on Wheels ha sido muy importante para m\u00ed porque mi familia no tiene que preocuparse de que reciba la comida adecuada o de que no coma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sus \u00fanicos parientes cercanos son un hijo y su nuera en el sur de Minneapolis. \u201cMe llaman y me preguntan c\u00f3mo estoy todas las ma\u00f1anas, a la hora del desayuno, antes de ir a trabajar. Eso es muy agradable\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9l tambi\u00e9n aprecia la comunidad que ha encontrado dentro de su edificio de apartamentos. \u201cY ciertamente estoy agradecido por las personas que est\u00e1n donando su tiempo a Meals on Wheels para hacer entregas\u201d, dice Eugene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9l paga sus comidas y dice que lo que obtiene por el precio ayuda a que su presupuesto rinda m\u00e1s. Aquellos, como Eugene, que pueden costear las comidas, ayudan a los programas locales de \"Meals on Wheels\" a atender a m\u00e1s personas necesitadas que no pueden pagar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNuestro poder adquisitivo cambia a medida que envejecemos y todo se vuelve m\u00e1s caro\u201d, dice. \u201cLos costos m\u00e9dicos tambi\u00e9n han aumentado. La otra cosa que les sucede a muchos adultos mayores, y me pas\u00f3 a m\u00ed, es que cuando pierdes a tu c\u00f3nyuge, uno de tus ingresos desaparece. Su Seguro Social se va y no tienes tanto para vivir\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para Eugene y su familia, una comida saludable cada d\u00eda es algo que saben que est\u00e1 cubierto por Meals on Wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aprenda m\u00e1s sobre recibiendo comidas<\/a>, trabajar como voluntario<\/a> o Haz una donaci\u00f3n<\/a> para apoyar la entrega de comidas a tus vecinos.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
