"Some of my tenants have picked up groceries for the ones that can’t get out. They have called me to see if I need anything or to just to have a conversation on the phone as they want to keep every ones spirits up including mine. My tenants have really been understanding about the 6 foot or more social distancing. I’ve been on the phone walking a couple of my residents through setting up their tenant portal for payment. They say safety first. My community have really pulled together during this adventure as they call it."

    "I was out and about in the park and a resident stopped me and asked me to stick around for a minute because he had something for me. I waited a few minutes while he went to his car and he came back with a bag of 10 large avocados! This small gesture meant so much to be because during this time produce is scarce and we are all trying our best to follow the stay at home order. This small act of kindness meant so much to me and family. We made a bowl of guacamole and homemade tortilla chips!"

“I will not mention names, because she would never tell anyone this. There is a Manager in one of the other communities that shared with me a heartbreaking story. One of her residents who is elderly contacted the Main Office for an unrelated issue. Knowing that this resident was older, the manager asked her how she was doing. The resident confided that she didn’t have much food left. She offered to go to the store for her and the resident said she didn’t have any money to buy groceries. This amazing employee, went to her own pantry and put together a food box for the resident. The manager was tearing up as she told me this. Knowing that someone is going hungry and not doing something about it was just not an option." 

“I am on a rotation of contacting my residents once a week (I make 24 phone calls a day). Checking in, making sure they are good and asking if they need anything. I have picked up over 30 prescriptions this month and basic grocery items.”
