Celebrating 7 years of Purpose and Service

As I celebrate my 7th year this July, I can't help but look back with a grateful heart. Through every challenge and every blessing, I have truly experienced the goodness of God. He has been my Provider, my Guide, and my Strength.

Today, I visited one of my senior clients. I noticed she needed a haircut, so I asked if she would like me to cut her hair. She smiled and said yes. She told me she had plenty of scissors—but they were all kitchen shears.

At that moment, I realized that God wastes nothing. Years ago, I studied hair cutting in the Philippines. I never imagined that one day I would use that skill as an act of love and public service for seniors.

There is a special joy that comes from serving others. Sometimes the greatest ministry isn't found in grand gestures, but in simple acts of kindness that remind someone they are seen, valued, and cared for.

Thank You, Lord, for allowing me to be Your hands and feet. Here's to many more years of serving with love.

"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me." — Matthew 25:40

❤️ With gratitude, Maria Tessa Garcia.

FILIPINOS, BEWARE:

It’s very unfortunate to hear about a Filipina who recently applied for a third wound care agency, only to discover that her application was flagged.

Upon review, it was found that she had billed multiple companies for the same service—even though only one service was actually performed. As a result, her application raised serious red flags and is now reportedly under investigation.

What’s even more alarming is the scale. Reports indicate that she billed over $120 million for 2025, with more than $60 million charged in just the previous year. This level of GREED is truly SHOCKING.
Here in the U.S., it may take time, but accountability always comes. Cases like this will eventually catch up with those involved.

What makes this even more disheartening is that she is a Filipina RN. Nakakahiya, because it reflects on Filipinos — even though the actions of one do not define all of us.

I’ve also been warning clients about similar schemes involving wound care, home health, and hospice. Some companies allegedly offer individuals $200–$300 per month to participate, even when they are already receiving government assistance such as Medicaid, food subsidies, and Part B premium support.

There are also concerning reports about hospice misuse—where individuals who are not terminally ill are enrolled just to access additional benefits like caregivers, supplies, and other services. This is not only unethical—it is fraud.

I continue to remind everyone: do not get involved in these activities. The short-term gain is never worth the long-term consequences, which can include serious legal charges.

Let’s protect our integrity as Filipinos and as professionals. Let’s do what is right.
Nakakahiya talaga—but more importantly, this should be a wake-up call for all of us.

May the spirit of Easter be with you all.
