Long post warning -
Today, SOS by Jesse Lee begins it's 4th year in business! What started as an idea to help (mostly) elderly folks with small household chores such as changing ceiling fan light bulbs, or replacing a/c filters, & opening canned goods, putting them in small managable containers, has evolved into much more than that. While I still do those things and grocery shop for some, I also feed, water, & walk pets during a family's vacation. I take pets to the vet when needed. I run errands and documents all over Central Arkansas. SOS by Jesse Lee drives people to medical appointments, train station, & the airport, as well.
With 235 repeating clients (and many more last-minute non-scheduled runs), our business has succeeded far more than originally expected, and is growing. This year, we formed an LLC, and decided to run our service more as we like to refer it "a service run with personality, safety, & commitment".
A huge thank you to the local medical offices, churches, senior facilities & businesses who allow me to place our placards and cards in their lobbies. And, also, to those patient advocates who call on behalf of their patients to schedule rides.
It began with a few friends & fellow area business leaders who wrote recommendation letters for me. Thank you Richard Weaver, Donna Remler Rogers, Anthony D. Sitz, Vicki Leith, & Kimberly Wood Lassiter for helping this old, retired mailman succeed in providing a much needed service to Central Arkansas. Thank you to all of my clients who trust me with their transportation and everyday needs.
If you own or work at a location that may allow our placards to be placed in your lobby, please feel free to reach out to me and I'll bring some by. Thank you for being an awesome community! And, thank you to my amazing wife, Suzy, for her unwavering love & support.
