| Description |
Lifetime Networks is looking for a volunteer to assist a 34-year-old woman who is blind. She is very easy going, and doesn’t take things too seriously. She needs guidance to walk around; she uses her cane in one hand and likes to hold the right elbow of someone else. She would like a volunteer that would do errands with her, clothes shopping, grocery shopping, go for walks, getting out in the world. Communication: She prefers phone calls as she doesn’t always trust the talk to text function is accurate. In a volunteer she would like someone who is around her age, easy going, and willing to go with flow. |
