| Cindy, Linda and Carla |
Carla is a retired art teacher from the Dearborn School System and was a new resident at Franklin Terrance. Carla taught art classes for many years and spent much of her time painting for enjoyment. Art was her passion! When Carla recently lost her home, most everything that was in it including all her art supplies and many of her paintings, were lost as well. Her adjustment to her new residence was difficult without the opportunity for artistic expression.
The Bridgepointe volunteer team wanted to provide an opportunity for her to enjoy the things she loves most. A trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts was planned and the care staff from Franklin Terrance sprang into action to make it happen! Carla spent the afternoon with the bridgepointe volunteers and her friend Cindy, another resident at Franklin Terrace. They enjoyed the various exhibits, a special lunch and were blessed with a beautiful day for the outing!
