Deniez’s Story
Deniez’s Door to Hope
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES HEALTHY MEALS AND BRIGHTER DAYS POSSIBLE
Across from a park, in a home much like yours, Deniez and her daughter, Sarah*, share a life full of love and resilience. Their side door swings open each day—Sarah off to school, Deniez to medical appointments—and later Meals on Wheels New Mexico arrives with a hot, nutritious meal.
A client since 2024, Deniez has led a remarkable life. She spent years working at the Department of Energy, contributing to atomic power research. She also shared a love of Zumba dance classes with Sarah. But life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic illness that damages the nervous system.
MS forced Deniez to stop working, making everyday tasks, like cooking, a significant challenge. Her doctor recommended Meals on Wheels New Mexico to support her independence and well-being.
When Deniez reached out, thanks to your support, we were there. “It’s the best thing ever!” she exclaims, her smile radiant. “It’s been so hard to cook. With Meals on Wheels New Mexico, I know I have something to eat!”
Because of you, Deniez doesn’t face these challenges alone.
Your generosity delivers not just nutritious meals, but also care and comfort to neighbors like her, every single day. As she and Sarah step into their home, meal and newspaper in hand, they do so with renewed confidence—knowing that more doors will open in their future, all thanks to you.
