CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It's not always easy to make a difference in your community but one organization is doing just that for senior citizens along the Beatties Ford Road corridor, one of Charlotte's oldest Black communities.
Is there anything more valuable than our seniors? They are the link to the past; their words, stories and experiences will one day make up our history. So, it's society's job to make sure they're cared for and looked after properly.
It's not easy getting around as we get older, and sometimes, a good day is defined by just getting outside with a good sturdy place to sit. Mary Howey lives in the University Park area, in the same house she grew up in, the one her mom and dad bought new a long time ago.
