We are seeking a kind and patient volunteer to support a local neighbor—a vibrant and artistic woman in her 60s who is full of creativity and heart. She sometimes struggles with focusing and navigating technology, and can feel overwhelmed at times. A helping hand could make a significant difference for her. She is looking for assistance with setting up a website, creating flyers, organizing, and implementing her creative ideas. She enjoys having conversations and looks forward to engaging in meaningful discussions.

We’re seeking a caring volunteer to spend a little time each week with a kind hearted 75-year-old woman in our community. 

She’s gentle, easygoing, and loves simple things—like a warm cup of tea, friendly conversation, or watching a good TV show. 

After experiencing a stroke, she’s been left with some residual weakness and isn’t comfortable being alone.
