Inspirational Thoughts

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Often victims of elder abuse, no longer value their lives. We need to give them value.
They need to know that someone cares. We need to show we care.
They need to know that they are not alone. Together we can assure them that they are not alone.
They need someone to stand up for them.  We should all stand up together.
Why? Because it is the right thing to do.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world
-Mahatma Gandhi
