Trish Vogel

Living in Howard County was difficult for Trish Vogel, who loved her work, but found it hard to make ends meet and to take proper care of herself. “For ten years I lived without healthcare because I couldn’t afford it with my job, working with infants in a daycare. Even when I had chest pains several times a day, I couldn’t afford a doctor, and would sleep with a Bible in my hands because I was so scared. Fortunately my congregation is involved with PATH, which is how I found out that I qualified for a special program that provides healthcare for people like me.

When PATH started its door-to-door campaign to talk to 4000 people face-to-face and sign 395 people up for healthcare, I spent eleven Saturday mornings talking to as many people as I could. It changed how I think about myself to act in the community, be a leader, and help others get the peace of mind that healthcare provides, rather than just receive services.” After playing a major role in our door-knocking campaign, Trish has gone on to be a strong and vital leader in all that PATH does.

When asked what being a PATH leader means to her, Trish said simply, “It makes me feel like I have a purpose—that I’m really living for God and not just going through the motions.”
