After one look, I fell in love with the place

“It just felt right”, these are the words that Norman and Marjory Gough used when explaining their move into Wesley Mission Queensland’s Rosemount Retirement Community.

I was home here from the first day.

I’d like to formally acknowledge our In Home Care Coordinator, Donna. Donna has always been there for us from the moment we started with Wesley Mission QLD. Donna is so competent, knowledgeable, professional and is a credit to Wesley Mission QLD.

We feel so lucky to have gone with Wesley Mission Queensland and especially to have been assigned Donna as our Care Leader.

My aim as a volunteer is to get every client to laugh and smile.

My son attended Green Haven for 2.5 years until we had to relocate to Sydney. I always felt like he was taken care of and loved as much as if he was with his own family.

I really enjoy the fact that my simple volunteering work has the potential to do something practical and positive for someone.

Late last year I found myself unemployed, after deciding not to pursue a job, I searched volunteering and I found Community Assisted Transport (CATS) program at WMQ. They welcomed me into their work family in February and I have not looked back.
