Recent Client Thank-You Note

“What a wonderful service you all provide and it meant so much to us. After Mom’s last accident when she decided to give up driving, it was a relief to her to find a reliable, compassionate and free service. And what a relief to me as well since I live out of town and can’t always be there to drive her.

You are a blessing to the community.”
