Hello everyone.  My name is Paul and I was hired in August 2009 to begin the exciting challenge of continuing the progress of Dodge County Lifespan Respite Network.  This is no easy task as Karla Jensen did an outstanding job for so many years.  A huge thank you to Karla for a job well done!  I come to DCLRN with nearly twenty years of experience working in human services.  I joined the DCLRN Advisory Committee in Spring 2009.  Then in a cooperative effort with FYI Community Services, we were able to offer a Youth Summer Recreational Mentorship Respite Program from June through August which DCLRN helped support.  I have been very busy with a number of updates and will continue this progress in the months ahead.  I look forward to working with our registered providers, the individuals and families that we serve, the donors and many supporters that all make up our Dodge County Lifespan Respite Network.

Family Testimonial:

"I’m writing this letter on behalf of my mother.  We recently received our stipend payment from the Dodge County Lifespan Respite Program that was donated by you.  This money is greatly appreciated.  This financial support allows me to pay for some respite care for my mother which is greatly needed.  It is heart warming to know that there are people who care about their fellow mankind.  So thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” 

It is stories like these that make our efforts all worth while.  If you would like to support DCLRN in a financial way, please do so today.
