Some ideas Mrs. Kowker gave our team!
Mrs. Kowker is an amputee herself, so she faces difficulties that not the average person faces daily. This leads us up to our next topic: the ideas that she gave our team. Mrs. Kowker not only told us the difficulties she faces, but other problems that seniors that she works with encounter daily.
Talking about this topic with her lead us to the problem we decided to attempt to fix, which was remembering to take your medicine on time.
