I love this idea. I am alone, isolated, forgotten in North Carolina. I reached out to DOROT when going through a really painful time solo.
Yes. DOROT was willing!
I’d love to bring this wonderful NY-idea to more states…especially the poorest, as NC.
Across the USA there is too much isolation & elder abuse .
Very very serious discrimination & neglect. Deadly.
DOROT gives everyone meaningful LIFE & LOVE &
COMMUNITY again!
Thank YOU! ❤️🫂👣👣
