Rhonda...Continued from page 1
TV show.After college, Rhonda enjoyed
a career as a runway, print and TV model. Later, she worked as an executive assistant.
In 2009, at age 52, Rhonda was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer. Her past five years have been filled with grueling treatments, including four surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. She is now recovering from her fourth major surgery.
“These healthy meals have worked miracles for me,” said Rhonda. “I was underweight and worried about food. I can’t shop, cook or clean up. I really enjoy the turkey and chicken dinners, and any time there is pie for dessert. My weight is finally getting back to a healthy number.”
In addition, we deliver donated pet food to Jasmine and Blondie to ensure that Rhonda doesn’t need to share her meal and that everyone gets proper nourishment.
Rhonda is one of about 160 meals

WHAT I’VE LEARNED
Entrust Your Work......in the Lord and your plans will succeed. — Proverbs 16:13
A wonderful year has come to a close amid a lot of joy, cheering, giving to others and also taking time to send grateful wishes to so many of our “Angels.”
I am so grateful for the donations, the gift bags for our clients, the extra special meals our staff put together and cheerfully delivered on the holidays and the many greeting cards sent by our friends and business partners and grateful clients. The Lord has indeed seen to it that our many plans for service each day of the past year have succeeded and now we jump into 2015.
Daily I get calls for more meals needed and funds not available. How can people live on so little? With rent, utilities and medicine there is nothing left for food. I do pray daily for the needed funds to keep our hot, nutritious meals filling our trays that go to our desperate clients. I entrust our work each day to the Lord and know he will continue to send the needed resources to accomplish our mission—to feed the hungry.
We are grateful for you and ask God to help all your plans to succeed—they will. Have a peace-filled 2015 and once again, I am grateful for your continued support and caring.
God bless you!
Sister Alice Marie, D.C.

In addition, we deliver donated pet food to Jasmine and Blondie to ensure that Rhonda doesn’t need to share her meal and that everyone gets proper nourishment.
Rhonda is one of about 160 meals
on wheels clients who are under 65 years old, but who need home delivered meals due to serious illnesses or disabilities. This is one way St. Vincent Meals on Wheels differs from government meal programs that don’t serve anyone under 65.
Now that her cancer treatment is completed, Rhonda is starting to feel better and get her strength back. “Once I’m well again, I want to give back in thanks for what I’ve been given,” she said. “So watch out world.” l
We honor these friends who are providing for the future ofSt. Vincent Meals on Wheels through their bequest, intention or planned gift received between September 24 and December 31, 2014.
