Review for Misericordia Home, Chicago, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been volunteering at Misericordia since 2006. Every Thursday, I go to sports night with the residents who are high functioning. Every season we play a different sport. In winter, we play basketball. Spring: softball; summer/fall: soccer. In addition to playing sports, we also go on movie outings and dance parties. A couple of years ago, we started the swimming team with the residents who are non-ambulatory. During the summer, we take the residents to the swimming pool, and we help them swim laps. I have found this experience very rewarding. I love getting to know these people, and I have learned to appreciate the little things in life.
