Triple C Machine owes a lot of our success to CAIC. They have been great to work with and it is good to know that small business starting out has people to help get us up and running…I would just like to say thanks to CAIC, my customers, my employees and everyone that has helped me get to this point and we are not finished yet.
Our featured caregiver is 69 years of age and is currently raising two great-granddaughters, ages 11 and 8. At the time of referral, she was close to eviction from her low-income housing, her only source of income was her social security check. Through all of her health issues and financial issues, she never failed to provide for her great-granddaughters. Once connected to RCP, the program was able to pay her rent, provide clothes for her granddaughters and provide Christmas gifts for the family through sponsorship from a private donor. She loves to attend the support groups and is active in all that the program offers. The family is now able to do things through the program that they otherwise would not be able to do.
We have a gentleman who is new to our community. His only means of transportation is the most beautiful blue Huffy bike you’ve ever seen. Fearing we would soon be seeing the blue Huffy on Route 70, I introduced him to the U-Cart system. He is now able to go to Cookeville and do his volunteer work. He is so grateful for the tickets you’ve provided for him. I know when they thank me they are really thanking you and your team, but I gladly take the smiles and hugs!!
We’re here to help. Contact us today.
