鈥淚t feels good to help out patients in need. I personally never had great parents in my life, so I also love talking to an older person about his or her experiences throughout their lives. 色色视频 assures you鈥檙e comfortable with your job responsibilities and such.

Maureen, Indiana
鈥淓nd of life can be a very lonely journey. I have a desire to share in that journey by providing comfort to both the client and family. Each client I have met has touched my life in a different way. I have been blessed to share just a small portion of their story. I have met amazing families who openly reminisce, share pictures and stories of their family member. Each member has a favorite or unique story of success, failure, adventure or love they want to share.鈥�

Katie, Ohio
鈥淚 have been volunteering with 色色视频 since I was 17, and it has meant so much to me. I鈥檝e been able to see patients, and watching their faces light up when you walk into their rooms is a feeling that can鈥檛 be explained. It helped on my college applications for both my undergraduate and graduate programs as well. Being able to help the people who are reaching the end of their life is so rewarding. You are giving these people the happiness and comfort they deserve. It has taught me so much empathy and has increased my want to help other people. I absolutely would recommend volunteering with 色色视频!鈥�

Mary Ellen, Ohio
鈥淚 had been looking for volunteer opportunities for several months throughout 2021. I am retired and wanted to do something that was helpful to others. By the end of the year, I saw an opportunity that sounded very inviting; it entailed sewing Memory Bears for families of hospice patients. I certainly did not know anything about this venture and had so many questions filtering through my head, but I wanted more information. The family of a patient offers clothing from the patient, perhaps a few special shirts or blouses. Once I get the clothing pieces, I can make the bears from a pattern. Making a Memory Bear is so meaningful to the families who have lost their loved one. It’s a special gift to remind them of someone that made a difference in their lives and is like offering them a 鈥榟ug鈥� of good memories. I really enjoy volunteering at Elara because I can do it in my own time, and it is something to do at home.鈥�

Misty, Indiana
鈥淰olunteering at 色色视频 makes me feel good on many levels. I enjoy spending time with people and knowing that my visit can make their day better. It is a wonderful way to give back to the community and to individuals. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet new people and share time with them. I’d recommend volunteering at 色色视频 because they have been a wonderful support from day one. They are encouraging and accommodating, and giving your time to others in this way is good for everyone.鈥�

Carl, Ohio
鈥淪erving at 色色视频 has allowed me to make so many good memories and connections like never before. It helps one learn so much about other people with whom they wouldn鈥檛 regularly interact with due to their conditions. In general, one does a huge service for the patients by simply just being there for them and talking with them.鈥�

Angela, Michigan
鈥淚 enjoy volunteering at 色色视频 because I can interact with and hear stories of people who may be lonely and are interesting to learn about.鈥�

Melissa, Indiana
鈥淚t makes me feel like I鈥檓 making a difference during the COVID-19 pandemic by making sure our hospice patients have everything they need for the week and don鈥檛 have any COVID symptoms. It鈥檚 a nice break from everything else going on in my life, and it鈥檚 rewarding to know you鈥檙e helping hospice patients stay safe and comfortable. I鈥檝e been volunteering virtually throughout the pandemic so it鈥檚 a very convenient and enjoyable way to offer some of my time.鈥�

Mary, Indiana
鈥淏eing a volunteer at Elara allows me to engage with patients directly in an impactful way. Hospice is fulfilling because you’re bringing joy to people in a time of need and vulnerability; this really means the world to these patients. Elara is a safe space to spend time with people, and I feel very appreciated each day by just being myself. Volunteering at Elara is a really good way to donate your time and get exposure to medical care. This is a great place for people who are interested in medicine, or just interested in making a difference. There are a lot of different opportunities in various places. The patients are always very grateful for anything you can do for them, regardless of your interests.鈥�

鈥淚 love serving and bringing a little sunshine into these choice spirits of our Heavenly Father. I enjoy going weekly to learn their stories and the things I can gain from their experiences.

Your love for others will grow tenfold.鈥�
