[Community-Service] Serving with purpose, passion, and most of all love!

[Patricia McPherson]

Julie,
I enjoyed your amazing essay. You really serve with purpose, love and determination. Hey hey Wow I am proud of you.
I passed my love for serving to my daughter and your daughter will grow up to be the same as you, me and my daughter.
I took my daughter along with me when she was young. She was always excited when I was involved in school and Girl Scout activities; from being a room mother, attending field trips, going to Girl Scout camp and helping with fundraisers. I’m proud of her accomplishments and continuing to support things that matter to me.now she’s serving on a non profit Board. 
Serving with purpose,love and determination,
Pat aka 🦋

>> HEY HEY HEY CSD!!!!! This is Julie Moses one of your sweetest GA PEACHEs!! Just wanted to stop in and thank you all for what you do in the community to serve others! I had an opportunity to serve a group of sight impaired clients at Vision Rehabilitation Services of Georgia on Friday April 21st. They had their first peer support group face to face since before the pandemic in March of 2020. It felt great to be my bright eyed bushy tailed self again and serve with my brothers and sisters. We served lunch, played games, and supported each other while having fun. I even got the opportunity to teach some great technology skills to a few people. Later that day we went to Taylor Brawener Park, where the founder of VRS has a healing garden. We pulled up weeds, and planted a few more flowers in honor of her service. We even taught some of our peers some mobility skills at the park. The one thing that blind people need is other blind people. It was a great day of some fun and fantastic serving in my community.

>> On Monday April 24, I went to a fellow sight impaired brothers house. I usually go volunteer with him every month once or twice a month teaching him technology. I take my three-year-old daughter and we go help him with whatever he needs assistance with. He is not mobile and was recently having some health challenges. We raised money to get him some comfortable t-shirts, socks, and robes for him to do his therapy in. When I got to his home, he was thrilled to hear us and ever so grateful for his care package. Despite being on oxygen, he sat up in his bed and did the tootsie roll dance with his hands. He and my daughter Brenlee had a blast sitting there dancing. It was so much fun to see him dancing and having fun. Especially since he was just recently in the hospital for over a month non-responsive. BUT GOD!!!!While I finished some light house work around the house Brenlee and Mr. B were sneaking and eating candy hahaha. Finally, I was able to help him connect some of his appliances and smart lock door to his Alexa device. I showed him how to use everything for ease of access. I love love love volunteering my service to those who need it the most. It makes my heart happy, to see the smile on their face. I guess I should say HEAR the smile on their face. I am sure we all serve every day, not even knowing how we have touched someone’s life. We may think it is small, but it is huge to so many!! On Tuesday, I spoke with a young lady that just turned 85 years young. She just recently started losing sight, but was doing a praise dance while speaking to me. She stated that us spirts are intoned and matched perfectly. She was so grateful for just helping her to learn how to make her life a little bit easier as a sight impaired person. She says honey I may be 85, but I can still live my life independently and unapologetically blind and CUTE with my pink cane!! Alright CSD…I could talk and type forever, but I will let all go for now. I will save some work for another day. I love you all and again THANK YOU for serving with purpose, passion, and most of all love!!!
