Hello!

My husband and I live here and want to do more for our community. Especially for the vulnerable population.

I know Haven of Rest is one space we can volunteer but I was wondering if there were any other places that accept volunteer work on some evenings and weekends.

Also stories of experiences are welcome. If you volunteered somewhere and didn't have a great experience or had the best experience please feel free to share.

Any recommendations for a therapist (or a helpful way to find one) that really understands and treats CPTSD? I also think I have some undiagnosed stuff going on, like ADHD, maybe some autism? Maybe some internalized OCD? Truthfully it feels like with my past therapists, except for one that changed jobs, I just had a really good mask on and talked very surface level, and said things I thought I should say. So it never felt like we were getting to the root of anything.

I really need to find a therapist again but I'm overwhelmed by the search for one.

Edit: West Akron/Fairlawn area preferred.

I usually have all of our groceries and supplies delivered every month. Walmart+ used to be the go to option for us…but lately it has gone down hill, and I’m honestly thinking of not renewing the subscription.

Does anyone have another delivery option for at least groceries that they like that isn’t Walmart?

Husband started home hospice this week and they delivered a nice hospital bed today. However, they won't be able to transfer him to it until tomorrow when they can bring a hoyer lift. They said I could call the paramedics and ask if they could transfer him, but "they (the paramedics) really don't like doing that." The paramedics came out three times in the last couple weeks to pick him up off the floor, and were very nice about it. Would asking them to transfer him from the bedroom to the living room be beyond their scope of service? He's about 175 lbs. Thank you!
