Volunteers
Wendy , LIFE ElderCare
When Wendy lost her job, instead of focusing on the negative she realized this was her opportunity to do what she'd always dreamed – to "pay it forward" to others by volunteering her time. Through LIFE ElderCare, she enriches her life and those of the seniors she drives around.
