“I am happy to be a donor. My first full-time job was in Social Work for a United Way funded agency and I felt pretty overwhelmed by how much need there was among my clients back then. That was almost 50 years ago and since then I have tried to commit as much as I could manage for United Way and other community charities. Now, I am Power of Attorney for my father in long term care, my partner has Parkinson’s Disease, and both of my daughters are off work right now, one with depression and the other with physical disabilities. Community services are so essential. One day I would like to help out personally with volunteer work, but right now I am happy to help support others who are working to support our community.”
