Making
Plans - A grandmother talks about Caregiving and Resources at Fairhill
Center (click here) By Adaora Nzelibe Schmiedl |
| "I asked for a helping hand in my time of need. You all gave me more than just a hand - you gave understanding, caring, knowledge. In time I hope I can pass this along to others. Because that's what it's all about in life and in living. You've made a difference, you're not just doing a job, you're filling a need at the right time! You are making a difference for so many with less!" | |

| "I just want to leave you a message - a call was returned to me to help with some drug issues and questions I had regarding my mother. I was actually able to resolve them on my own with much research, leg work and persistence. But I want to thank you for the help and assistance you offer the elderly population. I was sort of at a loss and had been given several numbers. I knew enough to go on-line to resolve the issue with Social Security. I am concerned about the people who do not have advocates for themselves and really need the help and assistance that you are providing. So I just wanted to tell you to keep up the good work, and how much you are appreciated." | |

| "It feels good to be writing this letter since I have always been motivated to pursue my dreams. I have to say after attending What's Next!, it was a confirmation that there are others thinking the same way I do. I'd like this letter to serve as a support to anyone in their 'golden years' not trusting their decision to step out to explore possibilities thought, but never acted on. Thank you. I do hope you will continue, as we live longer and more productive lives." | |
