Testimonials

     

 After becoming a caretaker for my mom who had Parkinsons Disease, I realized the impact one person could have on anothers' life. I became passionate about helping Seniors & Veterans in any way I could. Whether it's food, clothing, housing, personal care items, mobility assistance aides, transportation, music events or just physical presence, I was determined to make it happen. They just need to know someone cares. I'm that someone and I hope you are too! Help me make a difference in thier lives. Thank you so much.
