If you missed this weeks article, here it is…
Here at PNC, we are blessed with many employees that make our facility a home and become family to our residents. Today, however, I want to tell you about one employee that continuously goes above and beyond and never seeks any credit for doing so. Her name is Donna Thom.

It all began around 5 years ago when I stopped at the hardware store in Cavalier and ran into Donna. We stopped to chat and I inquired about how she was enjoying her newly retired lifestyle. She informed me that it was going well, but that she was looking for something part time to do to keep herself busy. I eagerly jumped at the chance to tell her that PNC was looking for a driver to take residents to their various appointments. She thought that would be a wonderful fit for her, so I connected her with Jeannie Hornung who oversees setting up appointments and transportation for our residents. As soon as I saw Jeannie, I ecstatically told her the great news about Donna. Since Donna was a retired nurse that was very much loved by the patients she worked with, we knew we had hit the “jackpot!”
At the end of April, Donna will officially have been a part of the PNC family for 5 years. Our initial thoughts were spot on, and Donna has been a Godsend to not only PNC staff, but even more so to the residents. If a resident needs to get to an appointment, not much will stop Donna from getting them there. Even when she has personal things going on that conflict with a resident’s appointment, she is very apologetic. She treats each person with the respect and dignity they deserve and always has a cheerful smile on her face. Her kindness and generosity go above and beyond what is asked of her. Many times, Donna has taken residents out to eat or to do a little shopping after their appointment, even when it’s not convenient for her. A lot of those times Donna will even use her own money to pay for food or items the residents need. FYI, Donna has never once told me she does this, but I have heard it from several of the residents upon their return to PNC. Donna never seeks out acknowledgement for her wonderous deeds and often tries to stay under the radar of people’s praises for her.

When I asked Jeannie, who works the closest with Donna, how she would describe her, she responded with one word “selfless!” Baba Hari Dass once said “Cultivate a sympathetic heart, humility in dealings, and selflessness in action. If these are practiced with earnestness and sincerity, then you will win the race of life.” I completely agree with this and can undoubtedly say that Donna is indeed winning the race of life. Thank you to Donna for all you do for so many!

Today something spectacular happened… I received a package in the mail from an anonymous donor that contained some new jewelry for our residents. Thank you so much to whoever sent such a thoughtful gift. Here is the article that sparked the whole thing:

Greetings from your fabulous friends at PNC! On February 12th, we did something new here at PNC. Any guesses? I’m not sure what you guessed, because surprise…I can’t read minds. Although please don’t tell my children that I can’t actually read minds... Sometimes I tell them that I have that “power” to ensure they are on their best behavior. Anyways, I am pretty sure whatever you guessed, you were wrong! So, what was it?

Imagine a drum roll in your mind…It was… a JEWELRY PARTY! We had received many donations of beautiful jewelry around Christmas time, and had lots left over. So, we decided we would have a jewelry party for the ladies right before Valentine’s Day. We had a fabulous day of showing jewelry and letting the residents pick out some new “bling” to adorn their necks and wrists. Kelsey and Jacy showcased the jewelry by walking them around for each resident to oohh and ahhh over. Everyone left with new “bling” and big smiles. The party was a hit, and many are looking forward to the next jewelry party.

Donations of new jewelry for our next party are always welcome. Thank you to everyone for always being so generous to our residents!
