I recently received a call from a woman named Mary who said that her mother had been given a wooden coin with the the message You are never alone when she was a Hospice patient in the hospital. No one knew where the coin had come from.
Mary went on to say that a patient wearing one of those coins came into the doctor's office where she works that morning. She immediately asked about the coin. As it turns out, this patient is one of our senior vulunteers for the You Are Never Alone Foundation who has been helping us assemble the Caring Coins and cards for the past few years. She very happily told Mary about the Caring Coins and the You Are Never Alone Foundation.
Mary told me that her family would be getting together the following weekend for their first time since their mother had died. She knew that each of them would want one of those wooden coins with the message You are never alone as a reminder of their mother. Following the get-togehter Mary called to say how much the Caring Coins meant to everyone. She was glad that she now knew where to find those litle wooden coins.
These Caring Coins do have a way of showing up in the most unexpected places...
