"I really care about the clients
and think about how hard it
would be to be in their situation....
They are always
so appreciative for something
that is so easy for us to provide.
am always
aware of how blessed I am to
have good health and the means
to take care of my
_ needs and family nearby who
would be there to help me if
needed it."
