Bessie Senior Connect

Bessie Senior Connect was founded in 2017 by Tresna Tupper and 3 Co-founders. We are caregivers and love helping our Seniors, we also love riding motorcycles. Our name pays homage to the work and legacy of fellow rider, Ms. Bessie Stringfield. We are giving back to our community by connecting our seniors to a variety of needed services. Since then, Bessie Senior Connect has expanded the care to homebound seniors in the Metro Detroit area. We strive to provide comfort and care to our seniors. "This is why we ride and serve"
