Supporting Independence

If you’ve driven down Mt. Diablo Blvd. in Lafayette, you may have seen retired pediatrician Sandy Sherman, recognizable by his signature red shirt and black shorts. One of the original members of Lamorinda Village, Sandy began relying more on Village services when his eyesight declined and he could no longer drive. While he still enjoys walking to downtown Lafayette for smaller errands, he depends on Village volunteers for grocery shopping and rides to appointments. Thanks to this support, Sandy continues to live independently and remain connected to the community he loves.
