Hear from one of our volunteers about what it means to volunteer with WesleyLife Hospice: "Being a volunteer for WesleyLife Hospice means the worldto me. I have personally been through hospice with multiple family members, and being a volunteerfor hospice now means I can make the experience pleasing for others. To know you are helping someone and comforting them makes me feel very happy to be a volunteer. The best part of being a volunteer is being there for someone who might not have anyone, and letting them know they are not alone. The connections I have made through volunteering are some that I will cherish and be thankful for." - Lindsey
