Jeff's love for the workshop used to light up his days, but health issues had left him feeling discouraged and stuck on the sidelines. That’s when Chase, from our Sunshine Maintenance Team, stepped in.
Chase and Jeff hit it off while working on projects around the facility, bonding over shared interests and a passion for all things 'hands-on.' Chase saw Jeff’s spark for working with tools and invited him back into the workshop. Together, they sort and organize supplies, sharing laughs and stories as they go.
Now, Jeff looks forward to their weekly time in the shop, where he feels valued and uplifted. Chase’s kindness has turned their time into something more—a friendship that’s brought joy and purpose back into Jeff’s life. Jeff says his spirit is higher, and his smile wider, all thanks to the new buddy who went above and beyond to make him feel at home.
