Tanya Sullivan and Charlotte Richardson have been friends for 45 years. “It’s like having a soul sister rather than a friend,” said Tanya. When Tanya saw TFCU’s “Thankful for You” call for nominations on social media, she knew who deserved to win a $300 TFCU Visa® gift card.
Here’s what Tanya said about Charlotte in November, “I nominate my best friend who is Superwoman. Not only can I rely on her in an instant to help me, she also takes care of her daughter with Epilepsy, her mother with dementia, her stepdad who is very elderly and fragile and she has a full-time job.”
Charlotte and Tanya live five miles away from each other. They call, text and visit with each other when they can. “She works so hard,” said Tanya. ”She’s never ever stopping. She doesn’t have any time for herself. Once every three weeks we take time to get our nails done.”
Through teary eyes Charlotte shared, “I don’t get recognition very often, except from her. For someone else to recognize what I do, it warms my heart. I love her. If it wasn’t for her, I’d go crazy. She’s the person that I call if I need anything. She’s my best friend.”
Tanya has been a TFCU member since around 2008. Since then, her husband and son have both gotten vehicle loans. “We love TFCU,” said Tanya.
She’s also going to make sure her loving friend, Charlotte, enjoys a little self care with her $300 TFCU Visa® gift card and doesn’t just spend the money on others. “She’s selfless,” said Tanya of Charlotte. “I’m going to make her shop with me in the room!”
