Life is better when we make a new friend!

My volunteer Karen is "the best thing that ever happened to me! I don't worry anymore about how to get bread, she’s perfect for me. She’s a sweet heart. I am so grateful to have her. My sons all live out of state and they are so glad that I have her, she’s a part of the family. I can’t ask for anyone better. She is so kind hearted, she is good to me. She takes the worry right out of my life."
