MAKE LIFE BETTER
71'
Becca &Jenny Weiss
were just
9 years old when their father, Allen, died
of a neurodegenerative 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."
