Why do you choose to volunteer with Hospice of the Red River Valley?
I wanted to use my massage and reflexology work to help patients reduce pain and have a better quality of life.
What’s your favorite volunteer memory?
I visited a patient and she was sitting up and eating. It had been a few weeks since she had been able to that, and the caretaker was so excited. She told me the massage and reflexology I had been doing every week was helping and that the patient was doing so much better. To see the excitement of the caretaker and that the patient was doing well is what makes this so rewarding!
