Grace Worlie worked at On With Life’s inpatient facility, first as an RN and then as an administrative assistant, for two years. She had initially been drawn to the impressive staffing ratios the role provided and ended up loving how that allowed her to get to know the persons served she worked with.
“I was able to walk with persons served and their families through a difficult time in their life,” said Grace. “I enjoyed being able to be there for them.”
Grace was first introduced to being a donor during On With Life’s Employee Giving campaign – an annual event where employees are invited to support the organization by making a donation to the On With Life Foundation. Knowing that her donation would directly impact persons served, Grace made the decision to contribute a recurring gift from each of her paychecks.
Despite loving her role at On With Life, Grace eventually took a new role outside of the organization in order to be closer to home. However, even though her employment at On With Life had ended, her donations did not.
“I have seen what On With Life can do to help others,” said Grace. “I loved working there so much and I want to continue helping them carry out their mission.”
Grace continues to contribute with regular donations to the organization, as well as through her time. She loves coming back to volunteer at On With Life events, allowing her to catch up with past persons served and co-workers.
