Meet our Volunteer of the Month

Jessica Vom Steeg - Volunteer for There With Care

There With Care is a non-profit that provides day-to-day support to families with critically ill children.  Some of the services we provide are waiting-room babysitting for siblings (so that a parent can be with their ill child), grocery delivery, transportation to/from treatments, legal advice, therapy, housecleaning, massage – services that help ease the burden for the family going through this difficult time.  We also have a program which delivers a meal each week to families at the neo-natal ICU at Presbyterian/St. Luke's Hospital.  The organization is grass roots and provides service yet also provides a personal sense of caring to families during a time of crisis.  We would not be able to provide these special services to our families without our caring and dedicated volunteers.

That's where Jessica Vom Steeg enters the picture.  Jessica inspires all of us at There With Care.  Since the first day of her service, she has brightened the lives of the children and families she has served as well as all of us within the organization.  Jessica has brought many wonderful ideas and coordinated valuable and helpful programs for families such as Parent's Catch Up Night at The Ronald McDonald House where she and other volunteers babysit the children allowing parents a few hours to pay bills, make calls, run errands or simply take a nap. 

In her family service she has collected and delivered clothing and personal items to a young man in the hospital who lost everything in a fire, delivered thousands of pounds of groceries to families all over the Denver Metro area, delivered furniture, babysat siblings in the hospital waiting room, driven patients to/from the hospital, become a mentor & friend to a young person going through cancer treatment and so much more. 

Not only does she donate her time to families, she also has worked at events, serves as Secretary of the Board and coordinates the referrals we receive from The Children's Hospital Denver, Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital, HospiceCare of Boulder & Broomfield County and Metro Hospice of Denver.  Because of her help, the flow of volunteer applications, donation letters, etc. are kept in order allowing us the ability to accept more families and expand our work throughout the area.

The most important service Jessica has given is her love and care to families during a difficult time.  She continues to teach us all how simple acts of kindness really do change the world.
