When asked about her experience volunteering with the Road To Recovery program, Beverly Sharp has nothing but good things to say about it. “It’s a joy. It really is.”
Beverly has been volunteering for Road To Recovery for about a year now, and she has had many wonderful experiences. After retiring and moving to the Kansas City area, Beverly was introduced to the program through her daughter who is also a Road volunteer.
Beverly not only loves meeting and getting to know the people she drives, but also the rewarding feeling and immediate satisfaction that comes along with helping someone. They are always so appreciative and have such positive outlooks remarks Beverly.
“I’m so blessed” says Beverly, who considers it a personal responsibility to help others who are not as fortunate as she is. She also comments on the possibility that, someday, she may need the program. “Most of us are so blessed to be able to hop in the car and go wherever and do whatever.” But what if you were suddenly unable to do that? That concept spurs Beverly on.
Beverly is passionate about the Road To Recovery program and encourages others to volunteer. It fits easily in schedules and the time is well spent.
