When I was thirteen, my grandmother, Mrs. Cleomae Dungy, was diagnosed with diabetes and battled her illness for a long time. Our family recognized she needed constant assistance and supervision with everyday activities. Therefore, we came up with a tailored plan to help her to live with assistance, in the comfort of her own home, because putting her in a nursing home was never an option.
I have always had a divine goal to own and operate my own business, and I knew that helping people would play a big part in it. I decided that setting up an in home non-medical home help agency would give us the opportunity to provide high-quality home help services for other families in need; and make sure my grandmother's unmeasurable love and legacy would live on forever.
My grandmother is the heart, soul and embodiment of Operation Red Door; she remains the emblematic wind beneath our wings. She was a phenomenal woman, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and educator.
