The Heart of a Volunteer
In this story within a story, an author’s story intersects with his subject’s. The author of the story below is Chris Williams (at left), a former staff member at Hospice of Dayton who joined the staff in May 2014 and who recently resigned to devote attention full-time to his studies in his final year at Wright State University. As part of his ongoing story, Chris has found a way to keep connected to his Hospice family.
As a communications major, Chris is now writing for the student-run DailyFlipz (http://www.dailyflipz.com/) mobile website. He is developing a series of hospice related stories for the site, which will also be published in Hospice of Dayton outlets. In fact, the story below, “The Heart of a Volunteer,” was written by Chris and is published here by permission. We wish Chris all the best in his future endeavors, including his work sharing stories from Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton!
