In honor of #EstatePlanningAwarenessWeek, we are proud to share Velma’s story. Velma became a supporter of the Front Porch Communities Foundation before she even became a resident of Fredericka Manor and her planned gift of real estate inspired her to join the community. At Fredricka Manor, Velma found joy in her neighbors from visiting with them across the dinner table to greeting them while walking her dog, Chloe. Even after she moved from Fredericka Manor, Velma remembered her neighbors and arranged her estate plan so the Foundation was her primary beneficiary, with the funds dedicated to the Circle of Friends resident assistance fund. Her legacy of caring lives on and touches the lives of her neighbors in need. To learn more about how estate planning can make a difference for the causes you care about, check out our latest blog post at https://ow.ly/V2J650TRcA3.
