A Lifeline Story

Marie is 82-years old, still does her own grocery shopping, housekeeping and cooking. She loves gardening, but because severe arthritis prevents her from doing much planting outdoors, Marie has everything from philodendrons to ferns to one cherished orchid growing in her home.

One morning, while reaching over to water a Swedish ivy, Marie experienced a wave of dizziness, lost her balance and ended up with a broken hip. Luckily, a friend of Maries stopped by to visit that morning and found her in time.

Even though Marie recovered from the experience without complications, it made her realize how fortunate she was; the next time, her friend might not be there. That thought alone was enough to make Marie decide she should have a way to quickly and easily get help if she needs it.

Today, Marie is a Lifeline subscriber, for life.
