Faye B.
This past month Faye is one of the many CAREGivers that went above and beyond. At the first of the month she took on a hospice client and when the family couldn’t be there, she was. She was willing and able to do 24 hours shifts so while the family was out of town they could have some peace of mind knowing that their mother was with some one who cared.Faye was also willing to take the bus to clients during the bad weather, and she even walked two miles in the snow for one shift (true story). When her carport collapsed under the weight of the ice, Faye was still so willing to give of herself for the good of our clients. Because of Faye, several of our clients who would have gone without ended up receiving much needed care during the storm.
Thanks Faye for your perseverance
and dedication!
