Meet The Coordinator
Lou Ikiua - A Friend in Need End-of-Life Volunteer CoordinatorI feel privileged to support a team of volunteers who bring warmth, presence, and human connection to patients and their loved ones at the end of life. For me, it’s these small, heartfelt moments of connection that make the biggest difference. Being part of a service that honours the dignity and uniqueness of each person is deeply meaningful.
