    Description

    We’re looking for compassionate volunteers to simply sit outside with a hospice patient — on a porch, in a garden, or under a shady tree. No pressure. No medical care. Just presence.

    What you’ll do:

    • Sit and enjoy the fresh air together

    • Share conversation (or peaceful silence)

    • Help someone feel human, seen, and less alone

    Sometimes the most powerful thing you can give… is just being there.

    💛 Got 1 hour a week? That’s enough to make a difference.

    Next Steps:

    Call or stop by — we’re a little old school and love meeting in person.

    📍 9415 E Harry St, Suite 703

    Skip one Netflix episode. Step outside. Change someone’s final days.
