The Trip of a Lifetime

Celebration
When Gerald Munro started receiving services at CHI Friendship in 1993, he
said his number one goal was nding his family. He had lived in an institutional
environment for most of his life. Our sta started the search using Gerald's birth
certicate, which listed only his mother's maiden name and hometown.
With great dedication, they helped Gerald search for his family, and last year it
paid o. Gerald heard back from a sister who wanted to meet him.
After months of planning, Gerald met Debrah and another sister, Diane,
face-to-face. It was an emotional day for all involved. Diane gave Gerald a kiss on
the forehead and told him she loved him. At age 62, Gerald has nally met his
family and has been given the gift of love.
