• Those in poverty lack the resources that are needed for good health, such as balanced nutrition and health care.
• Chronic illness further increases financial distress causing even more stress.
• In lower-income households, chronic illnesses are often left untreated till it is too late because of the more urgent need to earn a living.

What you can do?

• Support low income elderly who are unable to afford the cost of long term medical, nursing and rehabilitative care.
