Even at 77 years old, Direct Support Provider Thelma Woodfork goes above and beyond supporting an individual in her community. She lends her cell-phone to the person she supports so he can call his family long distance. She also helps him write letters to family in California.
"Ms. Woodfork worked to get outside support from local churches during the winter when fuel costs eat away at the individual's budget. She makes sure he goes out to eat once a week and spends special time in the community with him."
"Ms. Woodfork is an inspiration to many people here in the area and she is a support professional unlike any other."
