Rekindling A Spark

This hand holds a treasured photograph of cherished family and sweet memories. This hand once opened classroom doors at Julliard School of Music. It wielded a violin bow, producing sweet sounds and entertaining concert guests. Now this hand waves to ElderHelp volunteers who drive Maggie to her regular doctor’s appointments and make sure she arrives safely back home. Living alone, she fills her world with stories of encouragement and hope, inspired by idols like violinist Itzak Perlman and Olympic athlete, Naomi Osaka. Maggie shares, “the greatest heroes in the world are those that never give up. They sacrifice things in their life in order to exist. At times our light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person or an organization. I thank ElderHelp with my deep gratitude, love and respect for all that you do.
