Right now, I have a volunteer position taking care of three elderly women. I get a small stipend for doing this. I enjoy my job and I know I am loved and needed by my clients.

But, I wish I could also be working to help the homeless in the little town, of which there are probably at least 30. Small town of 1800 maybe. I am an attendee of a church that is planning to do something about this in the near future, so I am chomping at the bit, wishing to join in on this project when it starts.
