#46 JUDIS ANGELS - ASHLEY DASHNER

Published: March 9, 2020, 6:55 a.m.

On April 22, 2019 twin sisters Ashley Dashner and Amanda Szamecki created the #JudisAngels project. Just 2 months before their Grandma Judi went home to be with Jesus on 2/22. Watching their Grandma in and out of 3 different facilities for the unexpected last 27 days of her life- her hope had been stolen by a doctor and quickly it was noticed that she was wishing for certain caregivers to be working... or to not be working. There just seems to be a real lack of compassion in healthcare these days. The workers Grams wished for were because she could tell they cared. Our family wished upon certain workers... because we could tell who really cared. Wouldn’t it be nice to create an environment where you don't have to wish for certain caregivers... because ALL the workers care? The scariest thing in the world is to watch your vulnerable loved one being cared for by people you fear can’t possibly care as much as you do. This project is to remind healthcare workers that we are angels sent by God to care for and make a difference in our patient's lives. WE ARE ALL JUDIS ANGELS... and Jerry’s Angels... and Mary’s Angels... We want to focus on those who are compassionate, lift them upon a pedestal as role models, so others strive to be as compassionate.
