Life is full of blessings. As people of faith, we are called to help those in various areas where there is need, to be God's hands, feet, and heart to those in our community that need an additional bit of compassion, especially those at end of life - and the family members of those in the dying process. Hospice Promise is currently looking for friendly volunteers to minister to our hospice families. If you have a caring heart, are a good listener, have compassion for others, and a small amount of time on your hands, we can use you! We are asking for people with musical talents, military (both active duty and veterans), good listeners, and with warm hearts to volunteer with us. Please prayerfully consider this rewarding opportunity to make a difference in someone's life! Contact Avivah, Volunteer Coordinator Avivah.Fluhr@hospicepromise.com 623.330.4951

Have you been touched by a loved one with dementia? Have you had family members or friends benefit from hospice care? One way that we are able to help with those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia is by providing fidget sleeves and fidget mats. These help in the times that restlessness increases and picking on skin behaviors occur when the condition progresses. Fidget sleeves and mats can help retain fine motor skills and provide comfort and stress release by being able to work with familiar objects, helping them with self-soothing behaviors. Fidget sleeves and mats have things such as buttons, beads, clips, gears, and zippers firmly attached so that the person can have the visual, tactile, and sensory stimulation. Instructions for these helpful sleeves or mats can be found on Pinterest, Ravelry, or on an internet search. Hospice Promise Volunteer Coordinator, Avivah, will be happy to send you one as well. If you need materials, Hospice Promise can provide those on request. Avivah.fluhr@hospicepromise.com, 623.330.4951

Hospice volunteers are the one person on the hospice team that comes to the patient without an agenda, being there only do what the patient and/or family want. Typically, volunteers can read to, watch movies with, write letters for, or help with light housekeeping. But the major, most critical task is in life review and reminiscing. In all our lives, our purpose is defined by the things we're doing and with whom. At end of life, the majority of purpose is found in the patient's memories. Volunteers provide the avenue to help the patients regain their purpose by listening to the stories and bearing witness to the lives well-lived. Volunteers typically see their people two to four times each month for two to four hours per visit. We will guide you through training and supervision to best support the work you will be doing. We serve in all areas of Maricopa County, we are a valley-wide hospice. Interested? Please call Avivah at 623.330.4951 or email avivah.fluhr@hospicepromise.com
