Fernside Fun Fact Friday!
Sean Jameson is one of our longest standing volunteers with 30 years of service. We asked Sean why he volunteers with Fernside. Here’s what he had to say.
"There was something about the people, the culture, the energy, and the heart behind the work that pulled me in. What began as a somewhat self-focused decision became something much more meaningful. I came to see Fernside as a place where raw emotion, fear, grief, and humanity are all met with compassion, creativity, and care.
By sitting with children, parents, and guardians from all kinds of backgrounds, I learned that while loss and death bring pain, they can also reveal courage, connection, resilience, and growth. Fernside did not just allow me to support others. It changed me too. It taught me about my own frailties, my own capacity to listen, and the importance of simply being present."
