Fort Smith Caregiver of the Year
We are pleased to announce that the Fort Smith Caregiver of the Year is Patricia Moore. Patricia was born and raised in New Orleans, she moved to Arkansas after hurricane Katrina in 2005. She was the caregiver for her late husband, Haskell, from 2011 – 2016. Haskell had severe lung disease and was unable to care for himself after a prolonged illness in 2011. He was on a ventilator for 2 months as result of a collapsed lung during that time. She cared for him in spite of the fact that she needed to have both knees replaced and suffers from severe scoliosis. She always had a smile on her face and was quick to tell everyone that she was thankful to the Lord that she could care for him at home. She said that she does not feel that she is deserving of an award because “that’s what you do for people you love”.
