I am honored to recommend my husband of almost 27 years! As a retired firefighter, he has dedicated his life to service, demonstrating reliability, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping others. His current volunteering with the Meals on Wheels organization and our with our Church Family has only further strengthened his connection to the senior community, with providing not just nourishment but also companionship and kindness. I have personally witnessed his extraordinary patience and care, especially with my 86-year-old mother, who is experiencing the early stages of dementia. He treats her with the utmost respect, ensuring she feels safe, valued, and heard. His ability to provide not just practical support but also emotional reassurance makes him an ideal caregiver for seniors in need of assistance and companionship. He is dependable, kind, and truly passionate about making a difference in the lives of older adults. Any family or individual who welcomes him into their care circle will be gaining a trustworthy and compassionate helper. Sincerely, Keri
