"When my wife passed away, I didn't do anything, I hated the world.  After joining Senior Friendship Centers, my health got ten times better.  I come five days a week, and the people here helped me recover from my double knee surgery.  One of the volunteers, Harvey, would encourage me to get up and walk from my wheelchair, so i kept getting better.  Now, I get on the floor with my walker and dance with the ladies.  This place takes care of me.  If I didn't have the center, I don't think I'd have a happy life."
