Rona’s Warriors
Rona’s Warriors | How to Donate | Book Rona for your event
Fighting for Dignity and Compassion
One of the greatest gifts we can give the elderly is our time. If you have ever visited a nursing home or adult care center you will understand what I mean. Often these residents are alone, sitting in a corner seemingly forgotten as they wait for someone to arrive—someone to talk to them and recognize them as important valuable members of our society. It’s heartbreaking.
Visiting a lonely senior—especially those with mobility issues or who are homebound is a gift to them beyond our comprehension. And the best part is all that is required is our compassion. It will also make your day too!
Rona’s Warriors is more of a call-out to serve than a formal program. My hope is to encourage young people—or not so young people—across the country to visit a senior care facility in their community and volunteer. Volunteers may be required to go through a training program and some screening, but it will definitely be worth it.
So whether its to fill community service hours at your high school, or just a strong desire to help and serve those who have done so much for us, consider volunteering at a senior care facility in your community. Become one of my Warriors and fight for the dignity and happiness of our country’s elderly population.
…And I want to hear your stories. I want to know who my warriors are out there! Please email me and let me know how you’ve helped made a world of difference in a senior’s life. I’ll post some of them at my website which I’m sure will inspire others to become involved as well.
From the bottom of my heart, Thank you!
