This organization and the caring folks who make up the agency -- saved my life‼
Many, many years ago, I signed up for help, and was eventually taken on as a client. I am home bound and 100% disabled, as I was when first applying for admission to this incredible agency. In all the years since day one under their care, nothing nor anyone has come forward as an alternative resource to assist me as Senior's First has always done. In other words, had I not been accepted, if for any reason I was not permitted to continue with them for over some 15 plus years, I can't imagine where I'd be now, at 70, alone, with no living family. Over the years, my health has deteriorated appreciably, yet Senior's First wonderful staff has never failed to take extraordinary and loving care of me.
Senior's First provides the bulk of all my food, shops for me for the items my diabetic diet requires, cleans my home, bathes me, and takes me out whenever I ask, to help me keep my sanity. And they do all this with a measure of love and grace you rarely find in these troubled times; especially in an industry where normal "burn-out" time is around five years.
My income is a small VA Vietnam pension, and because of long term health issues, my Social Security check is even smaller; not enough to pay both my electric and cable bills monthly. Yet, because of these committed people, (and the Lord), I have never gone hungry nor made a call to them (especially my Case managers, Wanda Diaz and her Supervisor, Linda Tappan), that did not result in them doing whatever was needed, to see me through any difficulty.
Most of the staff knows I love each of them, pray for them regularly, and appreciate them beyond what mere words can convey. They are, in fact, my only family. They are also, my only Treasure...
