Behind the Scenes:
INCIDENT: Last March, through the Monrovia Providers
Group Facebbok account, someone from Texas contacted us and
asked if we could help her check on a loved one located here
in Monrovia, CA. She was concerned about her well-being and
she did not have the resources to check on her friend. Doug
Edwards, MPG President and Amy Graley of Santa Anita Family
Services, pulled their resources together and located her
friend Judy, who is now being monitored through Amy’s
organization.
INCIDENT: Through the MPG blog, someone had averted
a potential scam. Jason was about to sign up for a monthly
subscription to the Family Savings Club when he became suspicious
and searched for "scam warnings" and found our blog.
INCIDENT: The Monrovia Providers Group is not after
news headlines. Instead it chooses to help seniors quietly.
Much of the MPG's charity work goes unnoticed by the general
public. So it was a heartwarming surprise to receive this
letter from one of our recipients of our work. This is what
the Monrovia Providers Group is all about.

A Letter of Thanks to the Monrovia Providers Group
I cannot find the words to tell you how grateful
I am to you for providing the funds to purchase a new
bed. I am experiencing a very difficult time financially.
Having to replace my bed was an unexpected and an added
financial hardship. You came through for me and I appreciate
your kindness.
My wife has cancer and her condition has worsened
so that she can hardly walk. I take care of her and
have to physically assist her with all her needs. I
have acute arthritis in my neck and back and a good
night's sleep is essential for me to be able to assist
her. Now with a new bed, I will rest better and feel
better.
Again, thank you for helping us and making a difference
in our lives.
