In 2002, Bonnie joined Eskaton. She found her niche helping low-income seniors access vital programs and services. Linking residents to supportive services, leveraging community resources, and engaging volunteers is what Bonnie does best. She gets creative when working with community partners. Jefferson hosts Meals on Wheels, computer classes, a chair exercise program, and much more.
“It’s a joy for me to help resolve problems for the residents I work with,” said Bonnie, who is an Eskaton Guardian Angel. “Often, the problems are simply clerical errors. However, they frequently frighten and overwhelm the seniors. I see their problems much like the story of Chicken Little and Henny Penny — to them the sky falling and to me it’s an acorn.” Bonnie enjoys spending time with her grandson Mason (pictured), playing Native American flute and running marathons.
