Desde que Jim Gubluff se jubil\u00f3 en 1998, se ofreci\u00f3 como voluntario para entregar Meals on Wheels al menos dos veces por semana a sus vecinos de Hastings. Cuando se someti\u00f3 a una cirug\u00eda card\u00edaca en 2020 que result\u00f3 en un traslado a un centro de vida asistida, le preocupaba tener que renunciar a lo que describi\u00f3 como el \u201cmejor trabajo del mundo\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cPens\u00e9 que tal vez ser\u00eda el final\u201d, dice Jim. \u201cCuando no lo hago, lo extra\u00f1o\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Al vivir solo, Jim se hab\u00eda acostumbrado a conocer a sus vecinos a trav\u00e9s de su trabajo. Antes de sus casi 25 a\u00f1os como voluntario para Meals on Wheels, pas\u00f3 su carrera haciendo llamadas de servicio para la compa\u00f1\u00eda de gas local, un trabajo que lo llev\u00f3 a Hastings al principio de su carrera.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cCuando comenc\u00e9 a trabajar como voluntario me dec\u00edan '\u00bfQu\u00e9 haces aqu\u00ed, Jim? \u00a1Nada est\u00e1 roto!'\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mientras Jim se recuperaba de su cirug\u00eda, no sab\u00eda que uno de sus compa\u00f1eros voluntarios estaba tramando un plan que le permitir\u00eda continuar haciendo lo que tanto amaba.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

"Estaba tan emocionado de volver a eso"<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cTengo un amigo que estuvo en la ruta de Jim durante a\u00f1os y a\u00f1os, y siempre pregunta por Jim\u201d, dice Fay Wallin. \u201cSab\u00eda que Jim no pod\u00eda salir y eso lo molestaba mucho\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cEs estar con la gente que amo\u201d, dice Jim. "Lo disfruto. Me saca\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Habiendo conocido a Jim hace 12 a\u00f1os repartiendo rutas los viernes con un grupo que llegaron a conocer como "Friday Friends", Fay trabaj\u00f3 con Sue Hill y Joannie Becker, quienes coordinan el programa Hastings Family Service Meals on Wheels para ver qu\u00e9 se pod\u00eda hacer. Una vez que Jim se recuper\u00f3 de su cirug\u00eda en su nuevo hogar, que est\u00e1 junto al sitio de Meals on Wheels en el Hospital Regina, Fay dijo que le gustar\u00eda sacar a Jim dos veces al mes para las entregas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cEstaba tan emocionado de volver a hacerlo\u201d, recuerda Fay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n

Jim se ha recuperado bien de su cirug\u00eda, pero su movilidad ya no es la que ten\u00eda, por lo que se alegra de que Fay siga acompa\u00f1\u00e1ndolo en su ruta de voluntariado. \u201cCaminar ya no es muy bueno para m\u00ed, y no s\u00e9 si eso volver\u00e1. Fay camina y hace las entregas y yo conduzco\u201d.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

'Se vuelven como tu familia'<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Si bien han estado haciendo entregas sin contacto durante la pandemia, Fay dice que todos los destinatarios seguramente preguntar\u00e1n por Jim y lo saludar\u00e1n por la ventana si pueden.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cMary est\u00e1 tan agradecida que pregunta: '\u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1 tu conductor hoy?'\u201d, dice Fay de uno de sus destinatarios habituales (cuyo nombre se ha cambiado para proteger su identidad). \u201cEsas amistades duran y se convierten en tu familia\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sue, que ayuda a coordinar el programa, dice que personas como Fay y Jim son las que hacen que Meals on Wheels sea especial y un recurso indispensable para la comunidad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cNuestros cuidadores aprecian mucho lo que hacen\u201d, dice ella. "Ambos nos han hecho saber a lo largo de los a\u00f1os si algo no est\u00e1 bien con un destinatario para que podamos hacer que alguien los controle".<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a1Siempre necesitamos voluntarios para entregar comidas! Puede registrarse aqu\u00ed.<\/a><\/em> Tambi\u00e9n puedes apoyar su trabajo a trav\u00e9s de haciendo una donaci\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
