Thinking of You - Cards for Isolated Seniors

Dear Friends of NextStage:
 
During these trying times, so many of us can still get out, can still feel the sand under and toes and watch the waves, work in gardens, and general, while it may be limited in our freedom, still experience freedom.
 
But lest we forget, there are many of our fellow seniors who are sitting in one room, or the confines of a facility, who do not have the freedoms we have, and may be suffering from loneliness, isolation and depression with the same walls and the same daily activity (or lack thereof) and the very real fear of this cruel virus.
 
We can do something to bring a smile to the faces of our seniors who are in hospitals, senior homes, and health care facilities, by sending them cards and letters of encouragement, friendship and hope.
 
Join me in reaching out; join me in bringing a smile to someone’s face, let them know they are not forgotten and are held in our hearts – join NextStage’s campaign of sending letters, cards and notes to those who are facility-bound.  Working with FSA Family Service Agency, Next Stage will gather all the cards/notes and send or provide these to facilities where they will make such a difference
Spread cheer, make a difference.
 
We’re all in this together.
Hugs,
Risa Lower, Board President
