Very informative. I love your passion for your community!

Kenniel M., Exec. Director – Hartford Lions Soccer Academy

As a caregiver to my 75 year old father, I had no idea what help was available (not just for him, but me as well). Georgia was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the many options provided for his care. It is a comfort to know someone like her during these times.
