Bill & Patsy Wolff
Continue To Support Our Neighbors

Over the last week, Bill and Patsy Wolff have assisted an additional 4 families with rent and utilities money and paid a past due bill for Internet service so RHS students could take advantage of the free service offered by the telecom providers. Each of these families has been directly impacted by COVID-19. For example, one high school student was not able to do the assigned schoolwork, which was very unusual for this student. Upon investigation by the school, this student was working 40 or more hours per week to support her family of nine, because both parents had been laid off due to COVID-19 and she was the only one with a job. They could not pay their rent or utilities. Bill stepped in to relieve some of the financial burden for this family and this student is catching up with schoolwork during Spring Break and will be able to do her schoolwork for the rest of the semester. These are not people who want a hand-out, but they do need a hand-up. Their gratitude has been truly overwhelming. Bill and Patsy’s generosity is truly Service Above Self.

These stories in Roswell continue to bubble up to us and while Roswell Rotary cannot provide funds directly to families, Roswell Rotarians can. The needs can range from $100 to a few thousand dollars. Becky Stone & Alicia Hughes are happy to connect Roswell Rotarians with a heart to help these Roswell families. Please contact either of them if you would like to follow the Wolff's lead and serve the community in this way.
