This past year the Whitemouth School posted some jobs for their students and each student had to apply for a position. Tia and her friend Angela were picked to visit Rick throughout the year.

During the course of their weekly visits the girls learned to play chess, learned some food nutrition and how to count calories for Rick's daily food intake, did some weeding in the flower bed as that was something Rick would have done, ran uptown with Rick to do errands, wiped down his wheelchair, played wii, and had the home care lady, Carol, teach them about range of motion exercises. She had them put on rubber gloves and did the toe wiggling one just to get a feel for the process. They were such great girls!!!
