I grew up in Greenville, PA, a small college town. Although I moved to the Philly suburbs as a young adult, I remained emotionally close to my parents. When my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, my dad became her primary caregiver. After he passed away, I moved Mom to Artman’s memory care so she could receive the care she needed and live closer to me.
The team at Artman treated Mom with dignity and provided excellent care, even on her most difficult days. Although she couldn’t participate in their programs, listening to familiar music from a CD player helped her connect in a way nothing else could.
Inspired by my dad’s generosity and grateful for the care Mom received, I started giving back to Artman. My involvement deepened when a church member, John Heck, invited me to join the Liberty Lutheran Board. That’s when I learned about Liberty’s strong commitment to high standards and integrity, which made giving my time and money even more worthwhile.
Recently, I began giving through my IRA, allowing me to contribute more while enjoying tax benefits. It’s an easy, win-win way to support a cause dear to my heart.
