“Pathlights helped my grandmother remain in her home so she could continue to function as an independent woman with dignity and self-respect. My family was grateful for the assistance, and we never forgot. Fast forward to the day I was invited to join the Pathlights' Board. I seized the opportunity to help others just as they assisted my grandmother. I am humbled to serve the organization.”
— Steven L. Pappageorge, Pathlights’ Board Member/Volunteer
