Q: What are you hoping to gain from the experience of running this organization?
A: I am hoping to gain a reassurance that I have helped empower men and women, and to help them feel respected, appreciated and valued …. our culture doesn’t always send a kind message to elderly people.
Q: What are your goals for this organization?
A: To serve the community, and I guess personally also to feel that I’ve done what I’m supposed to do. My faith is important to me, and I just want to have the belief that I’m going to hear “well-done” once it’s my time.
Q: How does this organization benefit those involved?
A: Relationships come from shared experiences. Our care providers, because they are older and because we match them personally, provide a social network for seniors who often have a hard time getting out of their home. I don’t know how you put a value on that.
