Description
Polish‑Speaking Volunteer Needed for Friendly Visits
We’re looking for a compassionate volunteer who speaks Polish to spend time with a legally blind lady who has faced many challenges over the past 18 months. She is home and bored all day and eager to reconnect with the community and would truly enjoy:
- Taking a slow, easy walk
- Listening to short readings from Polish newspapers
- Sharing friendly, casual conversation
He doesn’t have many opportunities to look forward to outside of medical appointments, so even a little time and companionship would make a meaningful difference in his week.
If you enjoy connecting with others and want to brighten someone’s day, this could be a wonderful way to help.
