A heartwarming shared moment: During a hospice visit with social worker Julie Pryce, a family shared what they hoped to experience together before their beloved dad, Rodrigo, passes. One of those wishes came from his daughter, Sam. She wanted to go to a bridal shop and try on wedding dresses - not because she is engaged, but simply because she didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share that special experience with her dad and mom.
So, we helped make that dream a reality. With the help of Sandra D's Bridal Boutique in Watertown, Julie arranged for Sam to try on dresses and share the moment with Rodrigo and Sam’s mom, Jodi. Julie attended and they were pleasantly surprised and very grateful for the gesture. We also provided $300 in gift cards from the Because We Care program, to help them enjoy additional time together.
A heartfelt thanks to Emily at Sandra D’s and to Julie, for seeing this family’s wish, helping coordinate the details, and going above and beyond to make this special day happen. Your compassion and dedication make a lasting difference.
