Do you live alone or in circumstances which tend to isolate you? If you became ill or suffered a fall, how long would it be before anyone here checked in on you? Would you like to feel safer and more secure in your own home? Would you like the opportunity to help yourself and someone else at the same time? PLEASE CONSIDER joining our BUDDY PHONE SYSTEM,  a  lively group of parishioners who exchange a reassuring phone call and check in with each other everyday. This is a quick, non-intrusive way to assure your well-being, knowing that if your buddy can't reach you or your emergency contacts within the appropriate time frame, your partner will take action to see if you need help. This daily peace of mind call costs nothing and the system is easy and flexible. You and your buddy decide on the calling times. You can either sign up with another parishioner who wants to partner with you OR we will pair you with a parishioner who is looking for a phone buddy. What's holding YOU back?
YES, WE KNOW that every day you text your children...who live all over the country, but not close.
YES, WE KNOW that you have great neighbors...when they're not cruising the Caribbean or gone to Arizona.
YES, WE KNOW that you have an emergency alert button...when you remember to wear it and use it.
YES, WE KNOW you have a cell phone...when it is charged and not at the bottom of a purse or in another room.
YES, WE KNOW that not only can this system save lives, itHAS saved lives right here in our parish! For more information and to sign up, call Buddy Phone Coordinator Gisela Heumann at 224-565-0266, or Cathy Wedwick at 501-915-8456 or Pat Widlowski at 501-922-1395 . Give it a try! You have nothing to lose. THE LIFE YOU SAVE MIGHT BE YOUR OWN.
