“The relationships I have built with the residents and the staff—I’ve never had that in other places of employment. I lost my parents awhile back—and pretty close together. It was devastating. But with the relationships I’ve made with my residents, it fills an emptiness that I had for a long time. They are very special to me. The staff is like having a team to fall back on when you are not able to complete the mission alone. We all are working towards a common goal. They are all so special to me. I know I have found my calling because it just feels right and it doesn’t feel like work to me: It feels like going home to my parents’ house.”
– Judy Hamilton, Engineering
