She has reportedly been with one of her clients for more than two years, helping her manage her health, reconnect with family members and friends, and “live her most fabulous life.” They even spend holidays and prepare special meals together, according to the association.
Chavez was surprised with the award on Thursday morning and will get an all-expense-paid trip, banquet celebration, and $2,500, which will be put to good use as she also cares for her grandchildren during the upcoming holiday season.
