Sherri first felt the desire to help others when she was in middle school and adopted a lowincome senior for Christmas. Sherri says "I remember the joy I felt when I brought this elderly woman a meal and Christmas presents and she was so grateful. Nobody had ever done anything like that for her before and she cried because I had helped her so much." After graduating college, Sherri helped an elderly woman who was being taken advantage of by her landlord. Sherri says "I was able to involve a consumer advocate who stopped the landlord from continuing to take advantage of her. She had a voice because I helped her. Helping others is the best feeling! I can't solve every problem someone has, but if I can somehow make their lives better, then I have fulfilled my life's purpose."

- Why it’s important to make estate planning decisions so the state doesn’t make them for you.

- Why having an estate plan is voicing what you want to happen to you should you no longer be able to voice that opinion.
