How It Makes A Difference
Birthdays are a special time, but they can also be a lonely time for home-bound older adults. You can help bring a smile to a older adult on his or her birthday by taking a moment to write a cheerful birthday message and provide a few daily essentials that can sometimes be hard for older adults living on a fixed income to come by. What an easy, and beautiful, birthday present!
