So proud of Troop 571 for delivering 150 roses and hand made cards to residents of AHAVA Healthcare of Clarksville. We had several patients overcome with emotion, so many were smiling and couldn’t thank these girls enough, many couldn’t remember the last time they received a rose and the staff were blown away when they also received roses. The girls were respectful, compassionate, kind and brought joy to these residents tonight.
Thank you to Girl Scouts Troop 571, Hospice and AHAVA.
Everyone deserves kindness.
