life’s riches Jenna Pepsin

story by | patricia carlson

Some people look for others to sing their praises. They need a slap on the back or to be a recipient of a plaque or trophy to provide validation. And other people go about their daily lives quietly making imprints on other’s hearts. Jenna Pepsin is one of the other people, looking for nothing more than a hug, a sign of trust or a nuzzle from a four legged friend. Finding riches with payments due in the form of love and compassion.

Growing up the oldest of four, it was easy for Jenna to display the compassion and caring nature that came easily to her. Her sister has Cerebral Palsy and one of her brothers required surgery at 2-months-old to relieve pressure on his brain and was later diagnosed with a learning disability.
