Yaffna sprints into action running up the stairs, skipping two steps at a time. She meets Morris midway, grabbing onto his wheelchair. She pulls him up the remaining steps. Sandy is shaken up, she can’t believe what she just did.

Eileen and Morris hug each other.

That’s great, congrats! And I found out one of your clients went to another insurance agent, but Doug reached out to him and explained your story.
