"I tell God all the time, 'Thank you!’”, says Lillie.
This is Lillie.
She moved to Tacoma in 1973, raising her son on her own while working two jobs and attending school full time. She went on to start a small business in the Hilltop and spent years as a social worker and foster care provider.
Today, Lillie lives with rheumatoid arthritis, and when her cracked walkway caused a fall, she reached out to our Aging in Place program.
Our team built a new walkway—wide enough for a wheelchair if she ever needs one—so she can stay safe in the home she loves.
Everyone deserves to age safely at home. Learn more about our Aging in Place program at the link in our bio.
