Patty LOVES dealing with our elder community!
“Those relationships are invaluable!" Patty says, "I believe that if we open our minds and hearts to these folks, we learn more than any school could ever offer and I truly believe we become better people.”
Patty shares a story that she says impacted her life tremendously when she was in her early 20's. She witnessed a business man take advantage of an 80 year old man named Cecil Likens to the tune of $79.64. Cecil was her best friend, he was also her Grandpa. I remember it like it was yesterday”, she says. “I was so upset but Grandpa told me not to worry about it. That it was just a good learning lesson.” Patty recalls “After having to beg Grandpa for his permission, I went to talk to that man. After our talk, I got my Grandpa’s money back, Every Penny! Grandpa was right; it was a good learning lesson. I still remember the satisfaction I felt with that accomplishment. Looking back, to Grandpa it was just $79.64 but it couldn’t have been more important to me if it were a million!”
"When I returned with his money, I knelt down beside my Grandpa and I promised him that if I could help it, I would never let anybody else’s Grandpa or Grandma be taken advantage of.”
Patty realizes that was a pretty big promise for a young lady to make, but says she does everything within her power to make sure that her elder clients are well cared for, “…for Grandpa!” Patty says.
