A friend of a Vincentian contacted us with a special request. Her husband lives at a nursing home because he has Parkinson’s and uses a wheelchair. Unable to transport him in his wheelchair to her home for Thanksgiving, she asked if we were able to bring him “home for the holiday.”

By using our wheelchair accessible Care Van, we were able to bring the gentleman home to see his wife, children, and grandchildren for about 3 hours on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. After the visit, we brought him back to the nursing home. Our Care Van and the generous time of a Vincentian driver were able to help reconnect this family during the time of year when “there’s no place like home for the holidays.”

Christ just knocked at our door!
