I just give rides – Prairie Hospice Volunteers Strengthen Community

The wheels of the car hum as we drive across the bridge, they seem hollow, and they buzz against the pavement. It’s the only sound. I’m silent as is my occupant, a client whom I’m driving home from the Cancer Clinic. She’s reclining slightly, in the passenger seat beside me, gazing out her left down…

Testimonials

“You were all so wonderful to my mom and being in a different city made things more challenging for me. Knowing that she had a support network that could take care of the daily things was really a huge stress relief for me.”

Kevin Mitchell

“The respect, compassion, genuine caring and kindness shown to our mother, Jane, during the last weeks of her life were remarkable. The Prairie Hospice volunteer not only attended to Jane’s needs but also provided thoughtful, meaningful support for us, her family. Please continue doing the necessary work that provides peace and comfort to those we care about.”

Debi Coffin

“I have found volunteering with Prairie Hospice to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Individuals and families have welcomed me into their homes and lives, and I am forever grateful to have shared their journeys. It has given me the opportunity to grow by experiencing different ways in which individuals face end-of-life issues.”

Pam Reilly-Bruce

“When my dad rapidly became ill, we realized added assistance was required, especially given his desire to stay in his own home. Prairie Hospice offered our family much needed hope and help. Dad lived out his last months grateful for those he met through Prairie Hospice. He nicknamed them ‘his guardian angels,’ and to us all, they were.”

Brynn Boback-Lane

“I would have to scramble for rides, that’s for sure. Or my daughter would have to take time off work and it’s not always easy finding someone. People work. Going by taxi is expensive, particularly if you had to go a few times per week.”

Supporter

“Thanks so much – if not for my volunteer, my experience of chemo would have been much less easy. She has made a total difference to my weeks. It relieved me greatly to have my groceries bought regularly.”
