Life-Line Convalescent Ministries

A great organization. So enlightening to visit the patients. I have worked in Healthcare setting prior to me volunteering, so I understood why I should be there with the awesome Christians to devote our love for God to everyone we see.

After a number of years living away from family, I wanted to give back to the community and sincerely show love to those who might feel left behind or forgotten due to disability. I thought, “I would have given my time to family if I were home anyway, so why not adopt a parent or grandparent who might really enjoy the company.” My experience as a Life-Line Room Visitor gave me an even bigger heart for those living in senior homes. Many of the people are so sweet, funny and can tell you so many stories about their younger years. It’s really sad to think many of these people don’t get as many visitors as they should. They were just like us once. To see these people enjoy the simplest little things we often take for granted, such as being able to easily access music or get out of bed to take a walk outside, it’s hard not to feel thankful for what you have and make you think of picking up the phone to call your own grandma! Definitely consider volunteering for Life-Line!
