Letter: Three give much to hospice store (Dec. 23)
For some people it is just their nature to give. What a world this will be when we all realize this is the way to live.
For us, the Hinds Hospice Thrift Shop in Madera, we are fortunate to have 30 such people who have found their niche, volunteering here at the shop. Many have been with the shop since it first opened 12 years ago. They all have a very special place in our store, and it would be difficult to lose any one of them. At this time I would like to recognize three exceptional women who have spent countless hours helping at the shop.
There are two women who come in five days a week to accept and process the donations that come to the back door. I cannot say they work tirelessly, because they do tire, but, they do it because they truly want to. Their names are Dee Oaxaca and Jennie Childers.
Then there is Dorothy Simpson who has made literally thousands of hand made rugs and quilts which we have sold at the store. Again, we cannot even imagine the hours.
These individuals and others like them are who make our shop a setting that inspires us all to be our best. Hinds Hospice could not have a better group of people backing them up. Thank you all for being you.
