The Village helped me find my sense of direction. To someone like me, with no familial support, it’s wonderful to have all this in my life.

It gives you a great sense of hope and calm to know that there is a place like The Village Chicago for people to turn to as they age – that they can come to for resources, for community, for support, and also just to have fun.

 I recently moved back to Chicago and was concerned about being lonely. I happened upon The Village, and after looking through the events list, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for, and more.  The Village hasn’t just made a difference in how I feel about my life here, it has made all the difference.

Week after week, at our programs,  I watch people form new friendships, see old friends, and even run into people they knew decades ago.

 In the Memory Loss support group,  we learned that the disease affects each loved one and each care-giver differently. And it was only through the support of each person in the  group that we each learned not just to cope with the disease  but to lean on each other when there’s nothing you can do to heal or solve things. Sometimes, just telling each other about the journey is enough.

I have been happy to give time and energy to the Village as a committee co-chair and  a regular volunteer.  What I have received has had a significant impact on my life. I have made new friends, had new adventures, and lots of fun. And most important of all when my husband died, I had all the warm support anyone could want.  

We all have something to give and we have chosen to be in it together. It’s what makes the Village work.
