Organization helps the low income elderly in Dallas
Dallas, March 20th (EFE) - Judging by the experiences of many elderly persons living in
Dallas old age could be experiencing a mixed blessing.
The Voice of the Elderly, a nonprofit entity whose job is to inform and advocate for the
elderly in this city, has intervened in recent years so that the life of older people is more
balanced.

and goals, they are made more difficult because the vast majority of the elderly do not
have access to public services for different reasons besides time and the vicissitudes of
life. (Photo by Jose L. Castillo)
