Mother’s Day Gift Certificates for the Amazing Mothers Out There

Posted in News

Shopping for the woman who gives you everything isn’t easy. Nothing seems to perfectly describe how much you love your mother, but when it comes down to it, it’s the thought that counts. Whether young or old, get your mom a gift that will come in handy. You can still get your mother the traditional flowers and candy to represent her beauty, but this year add a little something extra. This year, give your mom All Island’s Mother’s Day gift certificates. If your mother is a senior citizen, she may not feel comfortable driving anymore, especially with the busyness of everyone around her. She may rely on family and friends to provide transportation, which forces her to give up the independence she once had. So this Mother’s Day, give your mother her independence back.

Many senior citizens fear the loss of independence when they can no longer drive, and All Island Transportation is happy to be there for them. We have a number of regular senior citizen customers who use our services to get around. Whether they are meeting friends, going to the doctor’s office, grocery shopping...
