    Dear Sir/Madam,

    For over 28 years the Foundation Aiding The Elderly http://www.4fate.org has assisted over 3000 families fighting the abuse of loved ones in Nursing Homes, Assisted Living and Acute Hospitals.

    We do not charge anyone for our services.

    A link to FATE on your resources page would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards
    Harris
