Description
We believe that birthdays are important to celebrate, especially near the end of life. Residential Hospice is looking for volunteers to deliver birthday cards and balloons to Hospice patients.
Celebrating birthdays in any stage of life can brighten someone's day and bring smiles to those that might be struggling. We've found that our patients not only enjoy the fun balloon we deliver for their birthday, but are also particularly touched by the card signed by our staff members...it reminds them that others are thinking of them and celebrating their life.
If celebrating our patients and their lives in this way is something you'd be interested in being a part of, we'd love to hear from you!
