Volunteer's Dedication Transforms Lives at New Jewish Home
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Josefina Fanduiz, a dedicated volunteer at the New Jewish Home, is making a significant impact beyond her role as a Spanish-language translator. Known for treating everyone like family, she goes above and beyond to ensure residents comfort and well-being. Recently recognized as the New Yorker of the Week, Fanduiz often arrives early, helping with various needs and offering a listening ear. With a history at the facility spanning over thirty years, she returned as a volunteer just three days after retiring. Her dedication stems from the opportunities the facility provided when she first arrived with no degree and no English skills. Patients like Dominga Marine Marquez and Charles Falcon praise her thoughtfulness and unique ability to find lost items. For Fanduiz, the New Jewish Home is more than just a volunteer role; its her therapy, both physically and mentally.
