Meeting minutes submitted by Cecelia Sanders
I would like to have a street named after Ton and Theresa Kager, two of the
most giving and hard working people in Yorkville.
They started a program at St. Patrick 's Church and call it "Helping
Hands ". It is not just for the people of St. Patrick 's, it is for the people of
Yorkville.
R lot of people cannot take care of their homes themselves ant they cannot
afford to pay someone to do odd jobs either. The group works for these
people.
The first big,job they undertook was the home of a woman whose daughter
and four grandchildren came to live with her. The house was in terrible
condition and they needed to have everything done. Theresa got the call and
they started on ajob of practically rebuilding the interior of the house. The
fancily did not have a working automobile and they also got them help with
thatplus they got money to pay the first month 's insurance so the woman
could go to work.
They also went and cleaned a house for an elderly handicapped man and
that was quite a job too.
The work around the church is part of their caretaking and there is a lot of
that.
Theresa baby-sits for neighbors when they have a need and Ton has done so
much for his neighbors.
Theresa is on the phone constantly with people calling because it is through
word of mouth that needy people hear of them. Neither one of them can say
No to anyone who is seeking help.
They work very hard,for the community and the past year or so has been
dieult for them as Ton fell out of a tree and had a couple of surgeries and
was in Marian Joy for a while. He is doing well now and is very grateful for
his friends around town who helped hire when he needed them.
I wish I could give you more details on all the volunteer hours they have put
in but they do not talk about the acts of charity they perform and I didn 't
want there to know anything about being nominated for flits honor.
Please consider there as they are really worthy of being recognizzed
Thank you,
Rita Miaphy
