A Local Firefighter is 10-7 'Out of Service’ Due to Legal Blindness after 32 years of answering the call; he is now calling you for help. With just a few hours per month, you can help this very young and incredibly active individual stay connected to his community. He just needs an occasional ride, someone to read a label, get a cup of coffee and a change of scenery. As an avid outdoorsman, classic car enthusiast, animal lover and active tractor puller this fellow stays busy. If you like to be busy too, this is the fit for you. This individual keeps a truck that may be used for occasional outings by mutual agreement.
Not so busy, there is also a local lady fromNew York just around the corner who would love someone to read to her.
Either way these two opportunities to help a neighbor and make a new friend won't last long. Fill out your application today and get started within 10 days!
