Director’s Message Summer 2020

Dear Volunteers, Donors and Friends of Love Is The Answer,

LITA’s iPad Compassion Project continues to be much in demand. At Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, Dr. Jenny Tsang reported our donated iPad was key to a senior COVID19 patient having facetime with his family, giving him the courage and spirit to fight on and get well! LITA donated 3 more iPads to CCRMC in May. Staff at Legacy Nursing Rehab, Greenridge Senior Care, Lone Tree Convalescent in Antioch and Pittsburg Skilled Nursing are all using LITA donated iPads for vital, safe and precious family facetime plus the mini bonus of LITA’s weekly zoom music shows for residents.
Your donation to LITA goes directly to improve the quality of life for these especially lonely, isolated individuals living in skilled nursing facilities or under care at CCRMC. Budgets for electronics to stream stimulating activities are STILL non-existent or being cut back at for-profit SNF. That’s why delivery of LITA’s iPads and services at those facilities and at our county hospital is invaluable now.
Your gift will make a substantial difference in these disabled quarantined senior’s quality of life.
With gratitude and wishes for your safety, good health and a long and happy life.

LITA of Contra Costa Director
