Thank
you for helping us celebrate 60 years in 2008!
Committed to our mission, Blue Valley Lutheran Homes continues to
provide compassionate, quality care to those we serve - your family members,
your neighbors, your friends. As a
non-profit organization caring for all who need us, we rely on your financial
help to maintain our important ministry of service.
Currently we are in need
of additional transport options. We
hope to purchase another rear-entry handicapped accessible van to better
provide for residents needs. Last year,
our transport vehicles were used for over 900 trips to medical appointments,
family gatherings, and other great events. "I enjoy every bit of riding in the van - wherever I go,"
commented Zelma, a resident at the Nursing Home. "Chris takes me to appointments and Myra even took me to Wilber
for a family reunion! It's nice to have
a chance to go to all these places."
There
are many advantages to the special rear-entry minivans, with no deploying lifts
or difficulty with parking. Since rear
entry wheelchair van modification incorporates a lowered floor channel, the
passenger is able to see outside and enjoy the ride. This pre-owned, converted van is estimated to cost approximately
$37,560.00. For additional information
and pictures, please check out the Foundation page on our website: www.bvlh.org
We
ask for your help. You can support Blue
Valley Lutheran Homes in four important ways:
·
Pray
for us.
·
Volunteer.
·

Consider
a financial contribution during this holiday season. You can make an undesignated contribution, a gift in honor or in
memory of a loved one, or consider BVLH in your estate planning. There are many ways to contribute, including
gifts of cash, stock, insurance, and commodities.
Please
help us continue to serve those who call Blue Valley Lutheran Homes their home. We wish you and your family a blessed
Christmas and a hope filled New Year!

Edna, Resident
