“I Knew It Was You!”
For two years, Hannah called her senior buddy every week—same time, same day, without fail. At first, the calls were filled with polite conversation. But slowly, something deeper began to grow.
What started as volunteering turned into something that felt much more like friendship.
Then one day, as soon as Hannah said hello, her senior buddy exclaimed with joy:
“I knew it was you!”
In that moment, Hannah realized just how much these weekly connections meant.
Her senior buddy wasn’t just expecting her call—she was looking forward to it. Counting on it. Feeling less alone because of it.
That simple recognition… that spark of warmth…
It changed everything.
A Moment of Joy in a Hospital Room
Across town, in a brightly colored hospital room, eight-year-old Jayden was gripping his mom’s hand, fighting back tears. He’d been in and out of treatment for weeks, and every day felt long and scary.
But when his student buddy walked in—carrying a deck of cards and the exact Pokémon character he’d been hoping for—Jayden’s face lit up.
He let go of his mom’s hand.
His shoulders relaxed.
And for a little while, he was just a kid again—not a patient.
This Is What Your Gift Makes Possible
StudentsCare brings caring college students into moments of deep loneliness, fear, or uncertainty.
Our students don’t cure illness or reverse aging—but they do something just as life-changing: they show up.
Consistently. Compassionately. With genuine human connection.
They call seniors who may go days without hearing another voice.
They visit children in the hospital who desperately need laughter and emotional support.
They bring comfort during some of life’s hardest chapters.
Your support fuels every one of these moments.
Loneliness Hurts. Connection Heals.
For isolated older adults and hospitalized children, the emotional weight of loneliness can be overwhelming.
But your generosity helps ensure no one has to face that loneliness alone.
When you give to StudentsCare, you give:
- A senior a trusted, caring friend that makes them feel valued
- A child moments of play, distraction, and relief during difficult treatments
- Families comfort knowing someone else is supporting their loved one
- Students the opportunity to learn empathy, compassion, and service
You’re not just funding a program—you’re transforming lives through the power of connection.
