The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Propose to use the funds to pay for Spot Assistance similar to the "Friendship Corp" program.
Who it helps and why
I propose to spend the funds on Helper Person who will be paid $25 to lend spot assistances to elderly and disable residents in Boston. I have a friend (in a wheelchair) who lives in a nursing home who needs someone to help them go out and meet her at her external destination. Individuals will need to apply or volunteer to offer spot help.
