Volunteering with patients is like spending time with family. I feel really valued, and I know I’m making a difference.

The staff that came to help John were way beyond helpful. They really cared about John, and it was such a pleasure to get to know them. They always talked to us about John to let us know what was going on, before they would leave. I would highly recommend St. Croix to anyone.
