Veteran support

While we pause to honor veterans this month, we thought it would be a nice chance to introduce one of our favorite veteran clients, Bob Marshall.

At 96, Bob is a social butterfly, enjoying lunches and programs at the senior center and VFW. When daughter Alisann Crough wanted to begin volunteering as a tax preparer, she reached out to us to find a match of a senior caregiver who can get Bob out of the house every day, whether that means lunches or senior programs.

“When I saw Seniors Helping Seniors at CityFest last year, I thought it would be a great fit for us,” says Alisann, noting that her dad moved in with her during Covid. “After I sat down with Bryan, he matched dad with our caregiver Laura. The relationship works because she’s also a senior and likes to laugh at his jokes. They’re companions. As we go forward and he may need more care, I’m happy to have someone in place he’s comfortable with.”

Bob served in the U.S. Air Force, fighting in Japan during the Korean War. Thank you for your service.
