Have you thought about how Covid has affected the elderly? Do you have a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility?
This is something that has weighed on me. My aunt is living in a nursing home and her family wasn't able to see her for so long. Her sister (my MIL) could go see her. It was very stressful.
A couple years ago before Covid start I was able to attend an event at an assisted living facility and hand out Christmas cards with my daughter. It was stressful and exciting at the same time. I felt so bad for some of the residents that didn't have family to visit them. I thought I would love to do this every year and then Covid hit and that was no longer a possibility. So I thought and came up with another idea. I want to make a big gift basket with things for the residents to do. Intellectual activities will help keep their minds sharp and help prevent dementia. I also hope they just feel the love of people caring about them when they see some donated gifts to them!
I can't do this alone I need your help!
So if you would like to help there are a few ways that you could do so.
Any of these three options will get active books in the residents hands!
