She is such a warm, lovely and caring person which reflects in her work and relationships with others. Fola has helped me out on many occasions and has been a pillar of support never hesitating to help me shower, do my hair and cooking. I am very fond of her not only because of her encouraging words but because of her bright smile which keeps me going and motivates me to see the positive in every situation.
