TESTIMONIALS
Marga, Client
"I have a job. I was told that it didn’t matter: I was a community member with a serious health issue who did not drive. They told me about the socials, museum visits, and rides available for doctor’s appointments and grocery shopping. I also receive fresh produce delivered twice a month to my doorstep! Lend A Hand has significantly improved the quality of my life: I don’t
have to worry about getting to a doctor’s appointment, finding a ride to the bank, or meeting new people—clients and volunteers.”
Robert, Volunteer
“Tom Miller was a writer whose work I’d read and enjoyed. Tom wrote for Rolling Stone and other, more obscure, music journals of the day. There was a second (or so I thought) writer named Tom Miller, who wrote about cultural interactions between the United States and Latin America. Turns out, it was the same guy. Turns out, I owned two of his books and even a CD. As a Lend A Hand volunteer, it’s been a real pleasure getting to know him.”
Tom, Client
“Lend A Hand has been a terrific service for me. Twice a week they give me rides to and from physical therapy, or the doctor’s office. This is something my wife, a full-time teacher, cannot fit into her schedule. I’ve gotten to know many of the drivers and enjoy their company. When my condition deteriorated somewhat and I had to use a wheelchair the Lend a Hand volunteers installed wooden ramps in my house.”
Tamara, Client
"I've known about LAH for a while and recently have needed their assistance. I look forward to meeting new people at the monthly luncheons and joining the Writers Group. Thank you, volunteers!”
