MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Every Tuesday as part of our Greater Memphis on a Mission series, we highlight organizations making Memphis better. This week, we caught up with a group that believes in helping seniors age gracefully in their homes. Eighty-one-year-old Chester Carter heard about the organization Reaching Back from one of his relatives. "Lifted my spirit, lifted my spirit. I'm thankful I'm thankful for everything they did," Carter said. Eighty-six-year-old Dale Singleton says he got a flyer in the mail about the organization. "I think they're a godsend for the people of Shelby County," Singleton said. Reaching Back is a non-profit organization providing services for seniors and helping them age in place safely by offering minor household repairs to full remodels at no cost. Leah Douglas Wooten is the founder & CEO. Local non-profit creates safe place to heal "I own a real estate company and we started targeting seniors. They needed minor repairs in their homes and so we would just do ramps and rails and those types of things," Wooten said. They quickly realized the barriers seniors on a fixed income were facing as they were trying to stay in their own homes. "Seniors were having to choose between eating and fixing their homes, between buying their medicine and cutting their grass," Wooten said. Carter was tired of living the apartment life and bought a foreclosure home to slowly fix up. He was working full-time until his health took a turn. "I started working part-time, I really couldn't afford it," Carter said. "So they came in and saved me, you know, instead of me thinking about another apartment or I don't want to live in an apartment again." "We got in his property, we saw that he needed a new roof, new windows, new air conditioning, new all, brand new everything," Wooten said. Urban garden grows unity in Memphis community Carter was able to qualify for a full remodel at no cost to him. They were able to turn one of his bathrooms into a more accessible bathroom by turning his tub into a walk-in shower. For Singleton, his AC unit broke in the heat of the summer. On his fixed income, he couldn't afford to replace it. "Came over [Reaching Back] and looked at the unit and said it was bad. He took my old unit out and put a new unit in," said Singleton. That is why Brown Missionary Baptist Church and the Mid-South Genesis CDC donated $1,000 to Reaching Back because you should always honor and support seniors when you can.
