We all know someone who puts others ahead of themselves—every time. In our experience, there is no one who
exemplifies this quite like Mitzi Like. Mitzi has been actively involved as a Henry Mayo volunteer and donor for
more than a decade, and during that time has reached out to us on behalf of others countless times. Sometimes
it’s a neighbor. Sometimes it’s an employee. Sometimes it’s a congregation member. Sometimes it’s an employ-
ee of a friend. The variations of the people who cross Mitzi’s path who she immediately jumps in to help are
endless. When someone is on their way to our ER, or is in the hospital, Mitzi immediately calls us, asking us to
“keep an eye” on them, and offer what assistance we can. Yet not once has Mitzi ever called us asking for this
assistance for herself—not once. She is always putting others first.
