Carle Foundation grant to help more seniors get around

CHAMPAIGN – Imagine you live alone, without any family nearby.

And you don't have a car, but you've still got to get to the doctor, the drugstore, the bank and the grocery. And you can't afford to take a cab everywhere, and taking the bus is hard, because you're nearly 70, nearly blind and afraid.

Deanna Henderson doesn't have to imagine any of this. It's her life.
