Ray and Laurie know firsthand how difficult it can be to juggle caring for a loved one, working full time and raising a family. After Ray’s mother had a stroke, they were her primary caregivers with Rays brother for over 6 years.

Ray and Laurie have two children: Zachary, age 24, and Meghan, age 22. The whole family served as missionaries on the east coast of Honduras for over eight years. They lived and worked with the local communities, developing relationships, and teaching / practicing self-sustainability. All four are bilingual English and Spanish.

Ray and Laurie have a passion for serving others and want to make a difference locally. They are committed to helping seniors.
