Being elderly and infirm happens to us all eventually, even if we try to make plans or save up some money. In the end, we cannot help becoming reliant upon others. Chinese families usually benefit from having strong support structures, but not all are so lucky, some slip through the net, become isolated and in turn vulnerable. The CCC is that net, we are there to give advice, a friendly ear and even a hot meal shared with others. Chinese culture is kept alive thousands of miles from home and in sharing that culture we hope to reach out to others and create understanding.
