Helping Mr G

Mr G. gets help with vision loss

Mr. G is an 80-year old immigrant from the Dominican Republic who came to New York City over three decades ago and worked most of his adult life as a delivery man and a factory worker.  In 2000, Mr. G had to stop working due to vision loss.  In 2011, he suffered from a cerebral aneurysm, leaving him with a left-eye deviation and memory loss.  Mr. G sought assistance and after vigorous advocacy by Riverstone, Mr. G received the rent support due him.

Memory Center steps in to help

The staff at Riverstone helped Mr. G  feel at home through connection with others with memory loss with engaging activities in the Memory Center.
