wow, what a special talent you have. It sounds like they were disappointed too, and were unable to say anything in a timely (for you) matter.
Perhaps you can ask the doctor who explained the situation to you to recommend an alternative place where you could volunteer, if you dont know of somewhere yourself.
I know about volunteering to work in an area not used to volunteers; I talked my way into the technical services department of the local library. they did not offer volunteer opportunities in that department, because they thought no one would be interested. Oh well.
Do you remember the movie 'pay it forward'? I cant remember if that was the title, but it certainly was the concept. Your appreciation doesnt have to be returned in a 'one to one' way.
I also call it "making a deposit in the bank account in the sky". Sometimes, I have to make withdrawals.
