Most people call the SVdP Helpline (206-767-6449) because they need monetary help to pay rent or electricity bills or to buy food, clothes or other necessities. But often when we visit, we learn they are very lonely. Recently, we visited a disabled woman who was standing in her doorway, leaning on her walker as we got off the elevator and headed down the hallway toward her apartment. As soon as she saw us, she called out a hearty hello and then said in a loud voice, “I am so happy to see you because I never have visitors!” It is such a joy and privilege to meet these people where they live and spend a bit of time getting to know them. Would you like to be a home visitor? Information, Christine Henderson, 253-973-1441. INTENTIONAL SERVICE!
