Once I retired, I was looking for volunteer opportunities to serve our community. My daughter-in-law told me about Casa Esperanza. I went for a tour and decided this was where I wanted to be. Being a retired teacher, I know the impact serious illness can have on the family and children. I had no idea the need was so great for a "home away from home" for families from neighboring communities until I became a volunteer. I volunteer in the development department and get to see first hand how impactful our services are. I was welcomed immediately by the staff, and their kindness and helpfulness is ongoing. I feel that my time here is appreciated. I am so glad I found Casa Esperanza.
