Without a doubt, your services are helping me maintain my sanity I live alone with my 89 year old mother. During the week when I work, I have a private caregiver which is costing me a lot. “My shift” starts right after work, and I care for mom from 3:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. My only break is when your services kick in. Mahalo nui loa.

I am the only active family member participating in my sister’s care. This program gave me a much/and long overdue respite relief and support. It recharged my soul with a sense of community and that we all need to take in a constant flow of giving and receiving.

Thank you for teaming me with my volunteerfor shopping. She is a delightful girl. She is dependable and a delight. Let me explain myself. I am 78 years old, partially disabled, have no car and I need a walker to walk. So you can see what a wonderful help she is to me. Thank you again for helping me. It means a lot to have a helper.

The weekly support and generosity of spirit is so uplifting. My volunteer is such a generous spirit. I am truly blessed to have her assistance and friendship. Thank you so very much.

No previous experience required.

Overall Experience   
The best medicine I had in years

I had a problem sorting paperwork and because I have MS my stress levels were affecting my health. Then MIVC came to my rescue in a most unusual way. They paired me up with a 16 year old girl and she became my treasure. She listened to what I needed, was always on time, and recommended some better ideas than I had for organizing. I came to think of her as a friend and certainly as one of Maui's outstanding youth! It is wonderful to know that people like this exist. I know her life will be full of wonderful experiences and that many people will benefit from her caring nature. Anna, you'r the greatest! posted by maui friend on July 26, 2007
