Every caregiver deserves a helping hand.

In this BIG 102.1 Acadiana Matters interview, Hospice of Acadiana volunteer Donna Sample shares how simple acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference for patients and their families. Through companion care, Food With Love deliveries, and creating handmade comfort items, Donna reminds us that hospice volunteers bring more than their time—they bring compassion, encouragement, and hope.

💚 "Do small things with great love." – Mother Teresa

Donna beautifully shares how that quote inspires her volunteer work each day.

If you're caring for a loved one and feeling overwhelmed, remember: you don't have to do it alone. As Donna says, "Call us. Let us help you. We'll just come alongside."

🎧 Listen to Donna's inspiring conversation with Shawn Murphy on Big 102.1's Acadiana Matters to learn how Hospice of Acadiana volunteers make a lasting impact—one family at a time.

Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful roles you can take on—but it can also be one of the most challenging.
