About Makeda

I love providing care to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their faces makes me feel I have done right. I have always enjoyed helping people so I know I am doing the right thing. I love spending time with the elderly and hearing life experiences they have to offer. I love also learning about their wisdom.
