Transportation Options for Seniors (TOPS) Program
...I never would have believed that in a short time I would be in a wheelchair. It seems simple that someone with good friends would have no trouble arranging a trip to the doctor, but it is - for all kinds of reasons - all of which I understand. Thank goodness for Senior Services North Fulton and I thank those who kindness provides it. Please know that each trip you arrange is a real gift. I sincerely appreciate this wonderful service - it is SO important.
