“I have personally witnessed the genuine and compassionate care that the AHOC provided not only to my father during his time of need, but to my entire family. The overwhelming sense of relief that I experienced by entrusting my father’s care to AHOC in his final days was something that I am eternally grateful for. The appreciation, gratitude and respect that I have for this organization inspired me to want to contribute to the cause. All that said, becoming an AHOC Board member was an extremely easy decision for me.”
