No one dies alone

Flexible Schedule | San Antonio, TX 78216

During COVID, patients dying alone in facilities broke my heart. This program will make sure that doesn't happen. N.O.D.A. (no one dies alone) is a national program. We will sit vigil with patients that don't have families, whose family is traveling to come see them, or families that need a break. We hold their hands, play soft music, read, and just give our presence so they do not feel alone. This takes place the last 48-24 hours of life. Each person takes a shift for a couple of hours. Once the program has been initiated, I will reach out and ask what availability you have, and YOU SET YOUR TIME! The intent of a healing presence to help patients feel they are not abandoned. This does not necessarily mean a patient is never without a Compassionate Companion at bedside. It is the connection and care that we bring into the patient’s life that matters, so it can truly be said "They were not alone." This is an emotional, spiritual, and relational reality - not just physical. Requirements: Background check Drug Screen TB testing Hospice and N.O.D.A. training Proof of COVID vaccination all will be provided by Freedom Hospice. I know this opportunity is not for everyone. This takes a special kind of volunteer. Please feel free to call me with any questions. Amy Margraves 210-983-0670

Veteran to Veteran Volunteers

Flexible Schedule | San Antonio, TX 78216

A vietnam veteran with paranoia wouldn't let anyone visit with him. The nurses, aides, chaplain noone! The veteran volunteer walked in and started talking about Vietnam and asking questions. The patient opened up for the first time. He laughed and talked for an hour. There is something about veteran to veteran comradery that cannot be deplucated. Come visit with a veteran today!

Sending out cards and letters during COVID

Flexible Schedule | San Antonio, TX 78216

Letter writing is a lost art! Our patients remember a time when that was a way of connecting. What joy it will bring to receive something with your name on it and knowing you are not forgotten! This population is so isolated right now due to COVID-19 visitation restrictions. Let's brighten up their day! Contact me for more details!
