Letters to seniors
Senior citizens in nursing homes are experiencing unthinkable loneliness because of the pandemic. My grandmother lived in an assisted living facility before she died so I know firsthand how lonely residents can become without routine family visits. I was so excited to be presented with the opportunity to reach out to some of these seniors. I wanted to convey to the seniors that people all over are thinking of them even though they may feel forgotten. I wrote to a black woman who requested letters from people from Baltimore. Writing to her made me emotional because of the similarities between her and my grandmother. I hope to write to more seniors in the future.
