Patricia thanks ZCare for some much needed TLC!

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Just wanted to send a special thank you to you and Alison Turner (ZCare) for the smiles you helped create in the picture below. Life has been very challenging lately.  My husband and I have just recently separated. I’ve had to find a place to live and to refigure my finances.  I’ve had help from the TLC Center in Holmen with furniture and other necessary items needed for living on your own.  Then I received a call on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving at 8:15 AM that my Dad is in a lot of pain and dying faster than we thought.  I’d be loosing three days of pay and holiday pay.  I really needed and wanted to see my Dad.  I wanted to be able to spend some time with him before he dies and give him some encouragement to be strong and continue on.  I wanted to be able to tell him face to face how glad I am he is my Dad and how proud of him I am of all his accomplishments in life.  I began calling whoever I could think of for help.  ZCare gave me $80.00 in Kwik Trip gift cards for help with gas to get me there and back. Thanks to everyone’s help, I was given the opportunity to spend precious time with my Dad and Mom.  The trip gave me awesome memories of my Dad and a peace of mind that when he did go I would be better prepared.  Thank you again for giving my family the chance to be together.

Please share this story with everyone.  I would love for the smiles on my families faces to be shared hoping to give others that same feeling.
