Showing Compassion through Generosity and Kindness

Transcription

1 e y n t e s As of March 2, there have been 20 days since our last lost-time injury. News for the team members of Cross Keys Village -The Brethren Home Community 03/09/2018 Pastoral Care continues to pray for you. Our focus the next two weeks will be Human Resources on March 12 and Dining Services on March 19. Showing Compassion through Generosity and Kindness It was your typical September morning in South Central PA: The air was crisp and the trees were starting to show signs of the fall season. Cathy Hertz, LPN on Somerset, was in a car accident on her way to work that changed her life. My injuries were very extensive, especially the fractures to both of my legs. After a 3 1/2 week stay in the hospital and 2 1/2 weeks in a rehab hospital, Cathy is continuing her recovery at home with her husband as her caregiver. Shortly after Cathy s accident, the CKV community did what they do best: they called, visited, sent cards, flowers and messages, and made contributions to the Benevolence Fund in her name. Cathy shared, I cannot express how thankful I am to my Brethren Home "family" for all of the support I received since my accident. I feel very humbled by this love and support that has been shown to me. What is the Benevolence Fund? This fund was established in 1999 as a generous gift by the families of some residents, made in appreciation of the care they received here. The objective of the Benevolence Fund is to provide financial assistance to employees of Cross Keys Village to address personal emergency and immediate financial needs, much like what Cathy and her husband faced during this unexpected and difficult time. How can I help? In the past, we have held fundraisers to support the cause such as our cookie and pretzel grams in which team members and villagers could send a delicious treat as a thank you, a gift, or a timely pick-me-up to a CKV team member. You can support this cause by participating in the benevolence fundraisers. The next fundraiser is scheduled in April. You can also make a gift to the Benevolence Fund through the Foundation office. If you know a co-worker who has recently experienced an immediate financial crisis, please contact Shannon Bentley in Human Resources at x5251 or s.bentley@crosskeysvillage.org. If you would like more information about making a gift to support the Benevolence Fund, please contact Mindy Becker in Foundation at x6496 or m.becker@crosskeysvillage.org.
