Or maybe it's Dad. If you knew your parent was in a situation where some help was needed, you'd do it wouldn't you?
In either case, we have elderly clients who can use a hand with routine household chores on a regular basis. Helping with this enables them to stay in their home and maintain a sense of independence and dignity.
You would do things like vacuum, run the dishwasher, do a load of laundry and so on. If they have a yard, you might help with mowing the grass or trimming shrubs and bushes.
The schedule is decided on by you and the client and most volunteering takes only a few hours on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. You're matched with someone in your neighborhood.
There are people right in your area who have no one else, except you, to help them. Will you step forward?
