One of our clients was living alone after the loss of her spouse and was unable to drive because of health reasons. Once our volunteers started helping her with transportation and minor repairs to her home, she began to feel better and became more independent. Her health has improved and now she can drive short distances to the store and her church. This is only one example of the tremendous impact our volunteers make.

I'm living with the loss. I'm living with the horror, with all the thoughts and everything and I still can't believe what's going on.

You can’t replace people you love with other people…But you can trust that you’re not going to run out of people to love.

To live is to feel oneself lost

En effet: je mourais déjà. Je venais d'apprendre cette nouvelle horrible que tout humain apprend un jour ou l'autre: ce que tu aimes, tu vas le perdre. "Ce qui t'a été donné te sera repris." Face à la découverte de cette spoliation future, il y a deux attitudes possibles: soit on décide de ne pas s'attacher aux êtres et aux choses, afin de rendre l'amputation moins douloureuse; soit on décide, au contraire, d'aimer d'autant plus les êtres et les choses, d'y mettre le paquet - "puisque nous n'aurons pas beaucoup de temps ensemble, je vais te donner en un an tout l'amour que j'aurais pu te donner en une vie.

It's like watching a movie in someone's living room.
