Friendly Visit With Sweet Results
It was during a friendly phone call that our volunteer Marcia discovered Betsy’s* tradition of making pomegranate jam at the holidays to share with family and friends. Betsy mentioned that she hadn’t been able to make her jam this year due to some health issues.
A seed was planted, an idea was brewing, and before long Marcia had set a date with Betsy to make the jam together.
“I knew it was important to her,” Marcia relays, “and she’s really good at it.” “Marcia puts a smile on my face,” Betsy shares. I’m so glad ElderHelp found her for me.
We’re just so compatible and she always lifts my spirits when she calls. Marcia is important to me, because she asks me to share things I like to do. In fact, when we finished making the jam, we shared a bowl of ice cream with the leftover jam on top. I’m so thankful she’s in my life.”
