The Ripple Effect of One Phone Call

by Lindsey May | Aug 26, 2025 | Email Newsletter Articles, News Articles

91 isolated seniors now have a new friend through TelePals, all thanks to a growing network of compassionate volunteers, including incredible team members from Suncoast Credit Union.

At the heart of TelePals is something so simple, yet so powerful: consistent connection. A weekly phone call that says, “You matter. You are not alone.” One of our participants, Jane, joined the program looking for exactly that, someone to talk to, but instead found something much deeper.

After a few warm, meaningful conversations with her TelePal, Jane began to feel truly seen. Encouraged and uplifted, she started believing in herself again. And with that belief, she took action enrolling in courses, working toward her counseling license, and becoming a TelePal herself.

Jane now supports three participants who are walking the same path she once did. Her story is a beautiful example of the ripple effect that begins with one act of kindness.

This is the heart of TelePals, relationships that inspire confidence, healing, and hope. We are deeply grateful to Suncoast Credit Union for their continued support of TelePals. Your generosity powers every connection, every conversation, and every transformation.

One phone call can truly change a life. If you’re ready to be a voice of comfort and care, join us as a TelePals volunteer today. Click the button to get connected today!
