Harold is a resident at Welsh Mountain Home. A teacher for 33 years, he is a caring person who loves people. Harold was living alone after his wife passed away. In July 2023, Harold realized he could no longer take care of the house and the property by himself anymore. Thanks to you, Harold has found a home he can afford where he has help doing day-to-day things that he couldn’t do on his own.

Harold shared that after his wife passed away, he wasn’t eating healthy, and he also began having trouble with activities of daily living like dressing, and even walking. This made it difficult to perform other tasks, such as grocery shopping, which made it more difficult to be independent. He was isolated which was hard for him, after the social interactions of teaching elementary school for so long. Several family members referred him to Welsh Mountain Home. It was also a home he could afford, because of your support.

“I grew up in New Holland and I remember passing Welsh Mountain Home with my dad on the way to his wood lot many years ago, but I never knew much about it. Now that I’m here, I’m glad it’s connected to a church and we have bible studies. I like all of the staff because they’re friendly, helpful, and nice. My favorite part is the food! I wasn’t eating healthy at home, but here they cook a variety and it’s all so good. I haven’t eaten such good, delicious food in years,” Harold shared.
