There may soon be fewer social services (and government funded programs) than ever before. At a recent workshop of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the attendees were asked by a program director: If there is a system failure, are you prepared to step in and contribute your time and services as a volunteer? I’m taking that question seriously and since then have chosen the path to work with the elderly. We must be ready to take action to help our neighbors and community and keep our heads and hearts above the muck.
