Rural Health: Financial Insecurity Plagues Many Who Live With Disability
June 12, 2019 - The things you need to live a healthy life - good food, a safe place to live, reliable transportation - all of those things cost money. For many people living on disability benefits, money is tight. And a recent NPR poll on Rural Health finds that a large majority of people with disabilities struggle with financial insecurity.

Toledo won root beer floats for their May 2019 contributions, served up on the hottest day of the year so far. Almost all the rest of the centers improved over April contributions, closing the gap between the actual reduced cost-per-meal and donations by diners. Currently the difference is covered by Lewis County Seniors’ fundraising projects including the A Second Time Around Thrift Store benefitting Lewis County Senior Centers in Chehalis (shameless plug).
One Board member hinted that next month’s challenge might include banana splits to the winning Senior Center.
As for Toledo’s Senior Center, community support has been outstanding for 2nd Saturday Pancake Breakfasts, community-wide themed dinners & entertainment, holiday bazaars and other events, and particularly for Silent Auctions, staged every two months. Both donors & bidders have joined to make sure Toledo Senior Center meets their independent obligations.
Due to the popularity and success of these Silent Auctions, and to the enormous volunteer hours and efforts invested into one annual tradition, Toledo Senior Center voted to suspend the 2019 Second Time Around Garage Sale held during Cheese Days weekend.
Because Toledo Senior Center operates on the Toledo-centric philosophy of Giving Back, it was suggested that folks wishing to donate new and nearly-new goods to a worthy cause look close to home.
Toledo Community Library, another local non-profit operation, likewise holds three fundraisers annually - Book & Bake sales - to “Keep The Lights On” and cover their bills, in addition to ever-present sales racks with DVD’s, box games and of course, books. Their single-brew hot drink station is entirely self-supporting by dropping your dollar (or more) in the canister.
Their Cheese Days Book & Bake Sale has conveniently been expanded this year to include - wait for it - a Yard Sale at the back of building on Saturday, July 13. So you can still donate or score a great new-to-you treasure while supporting another of Toledo’s terrific volunteer-fueled non-profit organization.
It’s a win-win!
Quiet please - a few housekeeping items:
While understandably upset that THEY lost the Coolest Place in Town designation to Toledo Senior Center, Toledo Community Library is being good sports about it by being the Coolest Place in Town Open Beyond 3 PM AND filling the Cheese Days fundraising yard sale gap by stepping up to the plate.
Both Toledo Senior Center and Toledo Community Library sincerely appreciate all your support of their events and fundraisers. And we appreciate that air-conditioned comfort!
Toledo Senior Center open weekdays 9 AM - 3 PM. Available for special events. Contact Diana, (360)864-2112. Also on Facebook.
Toledo Community Library open Wednesday until 6 PM, Thursday & Saturday until 5 PM.

- Price tags strongly encouraged - unmarked goods subject to “by donation.”
- Remaining items to be donated to A Second Time Around Thrift Store benefitting Lewis County Senior Centers, so the Giving Back continues to help locally.

Health Corner: On Supplements & Treatments
Reprinted from 09.14.2017
MindBodyGreen.com writes on several studies arguing against the pronouncement “Supplements just make expensive urine” commonly quoted by Western medicine. Folate* (Vitamin B9) is commonly recommended for pregnant women, recognized as reducing certain birth defects. Asthma sufferers commonly have low levels of magnesium and Vitamin D.**
Functional Medicine Practitioner Chris Kresser, who overcame chronic illness after spending a fortune worldwide, looks outside the box when tests fail to identify the cause. By addressing emotional causes, he says one patient reported noticeable progress with somatic experiencing and neural plasticity work.
Bernie Siegel’s 1998 classic Love, Medicine & Miracles relates unorthodox methods of treatment such as visualization to help people heal against all odds.
Medicine gardens of South America provide herbal remedies for a host of common ailments, including a few species Western Medicine has yet to uncover. Medicine wheel gardens might be seen as the Native North American equivalent. It’s useful to remember that most of today’s patented remedies are derived from ingredients in nature...that worked. Think aloe for burns, ginger (ale) for upset stomach, willow bark (aspirin) for pain.
Eastern practices are gaining new appreciation globally; this article explains The Science Behind Acupuncture and Why It Really Works.
No one method works for everyone. If you are dealing with health issues that don’t respond to modern medicine, consider something new.
Or ancient.
As always, YMMV***
*Folate is the naturally occurring form; folic acid, the synthetic form, is not well-absorbed as once believed.
**Vitamin D3 is widely considered the preferred form.
***YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary.
Disclaimer: As always, check with your medical practitioner before embarking on lifestyle changes. Health Corner topics are intended to raise questions rather than answer them definitively. Things change. New knowledge arises. Ancient wisdom is revived.
And miracles take place against all odds.
