Overall Experience 
I have actually gained 3 wonderful new friends as a result of volunteering!
|
I am a single mother with a teenage daughter. I decided that I wanted to get involved in volunteer work of some kind and to introduce my daughter to the joy of giving of yourself. Because I work full time, I don't have a huge amount of time to give, but in St. Vincent New Hope I have found a great organization that appreciates what time I can give and understands my time constraints. My daughter and I visit whenever we can with 3 wondeful residents at a group home. These 3 ladies have become our very dear friends and truely give more to us than I believe we are able to give to them. They are so appreciative and dear. I know that my life is enriched by spending time with them and my daughter has had an opportunity to experience giving early in her life. I know my daughter will carry these experiences with her as she moves through high school and college and be a more sensitive and caring adult because of it.
