More about Merret...

What made you decide to get involved with Toghers?

I strongly believe in the mission of Toghers and feel this is a much-needed service that will be a benefit to all that it touches. I have worked with Anne Togher in the past and know both the expanse and depth of her abilities of the heart and business, and I wanted the opportunity to work with her again.

What is the most important piece of advice you would give to someone who has just become a family caregiver?

Breathe often, budget your time, and connect spiritually every day.

What time did your alarm go off this morning?

My alarm is my three year old, Madrona, and she “sounded” at 7 am.
