Support for the Dookwah Family at a Time of Grief

Athens, GA

Story

Hugh Dookwah was wonderful man. He always wanted to see a smile on your face! Mr. Dookwah was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure in February 2020, and passed away from a heart attack early in the morning of July 23rd, 2020. He did not seem to be in pain and his family believes it was a peaceful passing. A loss such as this can make things hard for the family of the deceased. This page was created to support Joycelyn Dookwah (and her daughters) at a time where they have to figure out so many things on their own. Cooking requires time and energy. Let's help the family focus their time and energy on dealing with their grief and the new challenges of losing their husband and father and bring them some meals! A PayPal account is also linked in case you aren't able to bring over food and or stay for company, but would still like to help out somehow! - Please read the special notes below to help follow some guidelines when visiting. - The requests are for meals for 3 people - twice a week for a couple of months. If you cannot make it on a Tuesday or a Saturday, that is fine, just call and share when you'd like to drop something off. There is just some spacing out between the requested meals so that Mama Dookwah doesn't have food going bad if she doesn't get to it!


Special Notes

Mama Dookwah would like to keep her diet semi-healthy. Low Sodium is preferable but she'll enjoy anything you bring her! Be patient in waiting at the door after you knock, it may take Mama Dookwah a little more time to get to you. Call in advance please! - #706.206.9219 (cell) or #706.369.3161 (home). Please be aware that she would still like to follow social distancing and hygiene etiquette at her house to decrease the risk of contracting COVID19. If you stop by to see her or drop off something, you are welcome to come in but please wear a mask and be conscious of using hand sanitizer between tasks and touching your face if you are helping put anything away. There will be gloves and hand sanitizer by the front door. We also have some disposable masks hanging by the front door in case you forget your own! Physical contact is a great way to express feelings for a loved one, however, the family has asked that there be no hugs at this time to prevent the spread of COVID.
