In this heartwarming episode of Heart2Heart Senior Radio, host Juan Gallo welcomes Lori Hatcher, a dedicated volunteer whose journey is a testament to the power of human connection, compassion, and purpose.
Lori shares how her lifelong love for seniors began in junior high and how, following the passing of her mother, she felt called to step into the world of volunteering. From befriending isolated seniors to simply watching game shows and sharing laughter, Lori highlights how small acts of kindness can have a big impact on the lives of the elderly.
Through her story, Lori reflects on the staggering reality that 60% of seniors over 65 never receive a visitor—and how this awareness fueled her commitment to bringing companionship and dignity to those who often feel forgotten. She candidly discusses the joys and challenges of volunteering, including how faith has played a role in her mission and how stepping outside of her comfort zone has led to deep and meaningful relationships with the seniors she serves.
Listeners will also gain insight into:
✅ Why companionship is essential for seniors' emotional and mental health
✅ How volunteering can be a rewarding and life-changing experience
✅ The simple yet powerful ways we can support seniors in our communities
