    Description

    Do You Speak Spanish and Have a Heart Full of Patience and Joy? We Need You!

    Location: Near 149th Ave SE, Kent, WA 98042

    Schedule: Flexible, based on your availability

    We’re looking for a Spanish-speaking volunteer to spend time with a kind and gentle elder in our community. He’s beginning to experience some memory loss and feels anxious in unfamiliar places. He lives with his loving family—his wife and daughter—and speaks only Spanish.

    Who Are We Looking For?

    Someone with humility, patience, and a love for culture. Someone who can walk with him, share simple moments, and maybe talk about gardening and the days when he worked as a landscaper. He loves walking and light exercise, and while his world has grown quieter, your presence can bring back connection, joy, and dignity.

    What You Can Offer:

    • Friendly conversation in Spanish
    • Gentle walks around the neighborhood
    • A listening ear and a warm presence
    • A bridge to his past and a spark of joy in his present

    What You’ll Gain:

    • The deep satisfaction of making a meaningful difference
    • The chance to learn from a life full of stories and experience
    • A space to grow empathy, cultural connection, and community

    Help bring light back into his days.

    Your time and kindness can help restore the joy of companionship and the beauty of shared culture.
