Matthew Santiago

Elderly befriending organizer in Newcastle

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
  • 1987 to 2014
  • English, Spanish
I've volunteered with Victory Volunteer Corps from 1987 to 2014. I started on a Saturday morning "just to help out" and never left. I'm not an expert in anything, I just show up. I'm always reading two books at once.

More about Matthew

We run on goodwill and a very old kettle.
What gifts mean to Matthew: A gift would go toward supplies for our weekly sessions.
