In the face of uncertainty, retired educators still need the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation to help them with pressing emergencies, such as paying for utilities, groceries, and medical bills.<\/p>\n<p>As each of us experiences the COVID-19 outbreak on a different scale, TRTF is still providing grant funds to educators of the past, present, and future.<\/p>\n<p>Retirees are applying for assistance through our \u201cA Helping Hand\u201d and Disaster Relief programs. We hear from many who are usually able to supplement their income through substitute teaching that they are not able to work right now and cannot pay their bills. Retirees already struggle to make ends meet, and this crisis is not only a serious concern for their health but also for their ability to work.<\/p>\n<p>Please consider making a special gift today to help retirees throughout this crisis <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/trtf.org\/TRTF\/DONATE\/TRTF\/Donations\/Donation_Home.aspx?hkey=e0f4eb53-66a0-474d-a1fb-e8a99a3bf491\">by donating online here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>We are working diligently to keep accepting applications for assistance online. The staff is currently processing 6 applications for \u201cA Helping Hand.\u201d Most &#8220;A Helping Hand&#8221; applicants need $1,000 or more in assistance just to get back on their feet. Even when many businesses are closed, retirees\u2019 essential needs must be met and TRTF must be available when other agencies are not. Retirees still need to eat, pay for mortgages and rent, and receive medical care and prescriptions.<\/p>\n<p>As a non-profit, we depend on donation revenue to keep our programs functioning. We cannot continue this important work without your support. Your investment will make a difference. Even $5 goes a long way. Thank you for being a friend of the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>TRTF is currently accepting applications for assistance.
