Trustwell Living at Blanchard Place is thanking Sarah Wirbel from Triony Salon, Quest Federal Credit Union-Kenton, and the many amazing Hardin County community members who helped bring a very special idea to life for one of their residents.
Donnie Dodds, a beloved member of the community, lives with short-term memory loss.
He proudly served as a mail carrier in Kenton for 35 years and often shares stories from his days delivering mail.
Inspired by his passion, Blanchard Place envisioned a dementia life enrichment activity that would give him purpose and joy through something he truly loved, which was being a mailman.
Thanks to the generous support, their vision has become a reality.
Blanchard Place has received hundreds of cards, installed mini mailboxes outside all 35 apartments, and outfitted Donnie with a mail carrier vest, hat, and mail bag.
