Jenny Barlow, Memory Care Lead at Friendship Village of Bloomington, shared her perspective on giving care. “For me, it’s no big deal to give a few bucks from each paycheck. I don’t even miss it. And I know that because I give for Benevolent Care, it makes a difference. I remember the resident who shared her story with me all those years ago and told me, ‘You don’t get it. If something terrible happens to you, you can get a new job, start over, make a new life for yourself. At 90, I can’t do that. What could I do?’ She was overwhelmed with gratitude at the knowledge that she would be able to continue to stay even though her money had run out.”
