Do you or a loved one find that barriers prevent you from partaking in activities that you once enjoyed? Do you find yourself socially isolated or in need of a little help to get out and about? Do you have a parent who would benefit from an extra social visit or two during the week or a loved one in the hospital who could use some company or motivation to get back to enjoying life again?
