The Giving Fund: Lend a helping hand as new year nears

On Thursdays during the holiday season, the Connecticut Post is publishing short stories about local families and people in need of a helping hand. The names of those included have been changed to protect their privacy. Each case will include an estimated dollar amount that would help them face everyday challenges like rent payments, child care costs and transportation. Every dollar donated to the Giving Fund goes directly to the clients in need. Case 051. Ruben is a 62-year-old who relocated to Bridgeport after a move to Florida had to be cut short. He has partial blindness, diabetes, kidney failure and high blood pressure. While living in Florida, Ruben didn’t receive proper medical attention or assistance and became very ill.
