Our Ignatian Volunteer Corps volunteer Ruth offers a quiet strength and the gift of hope to clients, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to make informed decisions about their lives. The staff was blessed to witness her selflessness and compassion as she sat alongside a client with no family as he was dying, to ensure that he did no pass alone.
