Roots and Resilience

We have the immense honor of sharing one of the most heart warming conversations we've had. Meet Evelyn Buchanan, a 94-year-old inspiration originally from New Zealand, whose life is a testament to curiosity and an unwavering zest for life.

Evelyn's journey began as a dental nurse, but her passions extend far beyond her career. With an eye for fashion, a love of literature and drama, and a deep-rooted connection to her church community, Evelyn’s life is a vibrant tapestry of experiences and interests. Articulate, eloquent, and as sharp as ever, her positive spirit radiates through every word she shares.
