In 2008, sitting in a radiation unit at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, I had the privilege of meeting a lady named Olla Rae Chicola. There were many people there day in and day out, but for some reason, she and I connected. Started with eye contact, followed by a smile and from that day forward, we planned to meet up with each other. She learned about us, we learned about her. She was an advocate for her brother.
What else I learned about Olla Rae is AMAZING. This lady will go straight to heaven without passing go. She has been an absolute saint to those in need. Her family has been very instrumental in creating this movie (trailer below) and I would love to share this during this time of Thanksgiving. She has fed thousands of people – free – no ID required, if you’re there and you’re hungry, you eat. Please take time to catch this movie. It is extremely inspiring and wouldn’t the world be a better place if we had more Olla Rae’s?
At this time of Thanksgiving, I would also like to extend a thanks to all of my Clients and their families for the business and the referrals that you continue to give me year in and year out. This is my 38th year as an independent insurance agent in Des Moines, and I could not have done it without each and every one of you. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
