Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves

Two sisters, who started Native Angels Home Care and Hospice in 2000 with just two patients, are now serving 760 patients per day and generating over $9 million annually.

Bobbie Jacobs-Ghaffar and Lesa Jacobs can now add another accomplishment to their list: the two members of the Lumbee Indian Tribe have been named National Small Business Persons of the Year by the SBA at the Small Business Week 2007 conference held April 23-24 in Washington, DC.

Among the reasons cited by the SBA in selecting Native Angels were the North Carolina company’s record of stability, employment and sales growth.

During my mother’s illness in the period leading up to her death last July, my family was blessed to have found a local company which provides the same type of service. Very few businesses engage so intimately with people’s lives as these folks do, and they are truly angels bringing blessings at perhaps the most difficult point in any person’s life.

Congratulations to these two sisters and all the angels out there.
