Carter (Petitioner), of 208 Senate Avenue, Apt. 316, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011, and Betty L. Wilkerson, whose address is unknown. Petitioner believes and therefore avers that Betty L.

The following steps have been taken, in order to find less restrictive alternative to the appointment ora guardian: BESSIE M.

A copy of the Power of Attorney is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". 16. No less restrictive alternatives are available to adequately provide for the physical and financial care of BESSIE M. WILKERSON. 17. The Petitioner requests that the guardian be granted powers to act for BESSIE M.

The proposed guardian has the following qualifications: The proposed guardian is the daughter of BESSIE M. WILKERSON. The proposed guardian loves and cares for BESSIE M. WILKERSON. 20. BESSIE M.
