Sweetser Employee Goes Above & Beyond To Help A Client

It is not often that you encounter a young man who performs his given responsibilities exceptionally, but goes the extra mile to make someone's life a little easier.  That person is Jeff Gilman, Community Support Specialist, in your Brunswick office.  He helped my sister, who suffered from mental and physical disabilities that made her life difficult, at best.
