Many of us live very active lives. Work, family, children, responsibilities, packed schedules. We give our best to everyone around us. And precisely because of that, it sometimes happens that our parents or grandparents spend their weekdays alone. Not out of lack of care, but simply because there is not enough time.

A reality that is rarely talked about 

For many seniors, an ordinary day is quiet. They wake up alone in the morning, and during the day the television or radio keeps them company. There are voices in the apartment, but they are not personal. No one asks how they are, what made them happy today, or what is worrying them.

The phone often does not ring for days. Not because they are unimportant, but because their loved ones are trying to manage many things at once.

When conversation is replaced by thoughts 

Without regular contact, seniors turn to memories. To photographs, to the past, to people who are no longer here. Days begin to resemble one another. Monday blends into Tuesday, Wednesday into Friday.

The silence does not become a drama.
It becomes the norm.

The weekend as a turning point 

When family arrives, the day changes. The apartment fills with voices, stories, and laughter. The senior comes alive, feels closeness and interest. These moments are deeply meaningful and stay with them long afterward.

But once they end, a new workweek begins—and with it, once again, calm and silence.

It is not the families' fault 

This situation does not arise from indifference. It comes from the pace of modern life. From work, caring for family, fatigue, and responsibilities. Many families wish they could stay in touch more often, but everyday reality often makes it difficult.

That is why a simple human conversation has such great value. Without rushing. Without pressure. Just with the feeling of being heard.

Why we are here 

Voláme Srdcem was created to support families who want to be sure that their parents or grandparents have the opportunity during the week to talk calmly with someone. We do not replace family. We simply complement everyday life with human contact and conversation.Because even a short phone call can change an entire day.
