Provide-A-Ride
Every day in Central Oklahoma, there are senior citizens who can
not go to the doctor or dentist, or receive necessary medical procedures and
treatments, simply because they can’t afford public transportation. With no
friends or family in the area to take them, they just don’t go. Can you imagine
being unable to take care of your health simply because you can not access
transportation?
“Walter” can
understand, because he has been in that situation. Living on a fixed income,
Walter is a very independent gentleman providing full-time care for his wife,
who has numerous health problems. When Walter developed macular degeneration,
he worried how he and his wife would live when he could no longer drive.
RSVP’s
Provide-A-Ride program alleviates Walter’s concern about getting to medical
appointments. He is one of several hundred senior citizens who are clients of
the RSVP Provide-A-Ride program, receiving transportation to and from medical
appointments. Clients of the program are transported by their peers…senior
citizens who volunteer their time and personal vehicles to help people like
Walter.
