Five strong men are needed for service to their neighbors. Do you have a strong back, big shoulders and a heart of gold to carry the burden for your neighbor who is struggling to remain independent in their own home? Your support and friendship can help a neighbor who may be struggling with basic needs like shopping, driving, reading and sorting their mail. It's easy, start today! There is no personal care or housekeeping needed here, just a good buddy to read the paper, have a chat, go out for breakfast... so easy!
You must be in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island - there is no relocation, Visa, Passport or monetary support.
