HOSPICE HEROES
MAKE LIFE l ETTER
Becca & Jenny Weiss were just 9 years old
Becca & Jenny Weiss
are Hospice Heroes who
when their father, Allen, died of a neurodegenera-
tive disease. The compassionate care provided by the
hospice team who helped their family left a strong
impression on the twins.
"When our dad was sick, they took care of
everything and took our minds off of everything,"
Becca says. "Now we're giving something back."
Becca and Jenny ran a support group in middle
school for students who lost parents. And because
their father lost his ability to speak, they now
study speech pathhology at Michigan State
University. During their vacations, Becca and
Jenny volunteer in Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy
Network's offices. "We love helping Jewish
Hospice," says Jenny. "We know by doing it, we
are helping other people."
