🌲 Martin Hill Sr. of Grundy Center loves the outdoors. Whether it be fishing, “sitting back and watching the world” or “running his jaws with friends,” he feels at peace surrounded by nature. On a recent afternoon, his Cedar Valley Hospice care team partnered with the Grundy Care Center to take him fishing at Grundy County Lake. 🎣🐟

Martin cast his line for two hours and shared stories of his past with his care team. While entertaining everyone with his one-liner quips, Martin caught several small fish off the dock as the sun shone brightly. And although they did not compare to his largest 18-inch catfish he once caught, he had “a ball.” He also hand-carves train whistles, a skill he learned one night while watching a late-night hobby show when he lived on his farm northeast of Grundy Center. ☀️

“I appreciate every one of you and enjoy your company very much,” Martin said as he looked at his care team. “I will never forget this the rest of my life.” 💚

This experience was made possible thanks to GEM (Gifts Enhancing Moments): A Program of Cedar Valley Hospice. This small gifts fund allows patients on our hospice program to receive items and experiences that improve their quality of life. To help create more moments like Martin's, consider supporting GEM by donating today at https://www.cvhospice.org/donate/. Please note "GEM" under "this is for a special fundraiser or program."
