Re: [TMIC] OT In-home assisted living
Our local high school also requires seniors to complete so many hours of community service prior to graduation so that may be another place to check. A few years ago my mom got paid for going in and helping out a friend who was sick. The friend was very low income and the payment came through social services.

Looking for light cooking, laundry and cleaning. How did you find your help? Kevin, In Freeport, ME, there is a community agency that has a list of Volunteers. We have heavy-Duty Volunteers who lift heavy things- these guys are highschool students. We aren't supposed to pay but usually tip them. We have light duty volunteers from time to time. When we need more help it will be there for us. My daughter graduated from a primo School of Science and Math in South Carolina- this was the first of it's king in the US. It was staffed by University of South Carolina professors. One requirement for graduation was 50 hrs of volunteering. Universities look very favorably at students who volunteer. I took this idea and sent it to the lady who runs the Freeport Community Center's volunteering. She loved the idea and called up the superintendent of Schools and they are slowly adding this to the curriculum. So we will have lots of helpers, inside and outside the house. So, try phoning your local town hall and ask around. Often volunteers are kept secret. Few people want to tell everyone that they actually need help. Good Luck F

Dear Gary, You moved me to tears. I believe that as this disease robs our loved ones of who they are here on earth they are preserved in wholeness in heaven. God be with you and your mother in the coming days. Mindy the Artisan On Oct 13, 2009, at 12:08 AM, Gary Thomas wrote: Mindy, Thank you for sharing the video of the beautiful hymn.
