Bequests

Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of social service organizations. They believe it is important to help put vulnerable community members onto a path towards sustainability.

Joe: Anna and I are passionate about supporting organizations that provided the services that truly help others. It is important to us to partner with them to make a difference. That is why we have made several gifts over the years.

Anna: But we wanted to do more than just make gifts. Joe and I have been careful and have been able to save enough for retirement. We plan to be generous with our family, but we can also help those who are struggling.

Joe: After talking it over, we decided to leave a bequest in each of our wills. Our attorney took the simple language available from the organization and included a nice bequest in my will as well as Anna's. We are delighted that we will be helping others through these gifts.
