"We're honored to support this film, which focuses on the story of an economically disadvantaged young mother of three who is also taking on the role of caring for her elderly father, who is ill and prone to wandering," said Ericha Fryfogle-Joy, chief marketing officer.  

"As the largest non-profit community-based hospice in Northern Ohio, our mission is to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support not only to our patients, but to their caregivers -- people like Maria -- who might otherwise fall between the cracks, so this film was especially meaningful for us," she added.
