Testimonials:
From Senior Citizen recipient:
“I just want you to know what it means to me and all the others that I’ve talked to. You know we are in strict confinement because of Covid so those little balloon guys you brought just absolutely brightened everyone’s life and mine especially. I took a picture of the whole group of the balloons when they came and then took a picture of the one I got. I sent it to my family. I can’t thank you enough for doing this.” Phone call from a 101 year-old-resident. Ms. C. (photo above)
From a corporate sponsor:
Answer when I asked, “Why is your company choosing to sponsor?”
“Dianna, I love this idea. I have been trying to think of ways we could give back to those in our community that are shut in. My staff and I are still working everyday and interacting with each other and clients. We see how much this has impacted our co-workers who are not able to report to the office. Thank you for partnering with us to show our senior citizens we love them and care about them.” Donnie P., First Bank
From an adopter:
“What a wonderful thing you are doing for assisted living residents! My Mom lived in Atria Weston Place for fourteen months, she passed away on November 29th. She would have loved this! It haunts me that the last 8 months of her life was spent in lockdown. Thank you for doing this. I hope Atria is on your list. The staff is amazing and the other residents are so sweet. Blessings to you all. As you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me”. Leslie A., Adopter
