Golden Years, Golden Cheers, Supporting Our Seniors
Awesome Human’s Quarter of Kindness – Celebrating Our Seniors!
Hey Awesome Humans! We’re super excited (and a bit proud) to announce our very first donation from the Awesome Fund for Micro Charities! This first season, we’re focusing on a group that’s woven into the fabric of every community – our beloved elderly. It’s a celebration of our golden years, where wisdom and experiences should be cherished, not overlooked. Our first donation will be made on November 1st, and you get to vote for the charity that will receive it though our survey and social media channels.
Why Our Elders?
We often overlook the 65+ crowd, assuming they’re all set with retirement plans and cozy living rooms. But the reality? It’s not just about having a nest egg. Our seniors face unique challenges – loneliness that leads to health problems, difficulty accessing essential services, and sometimes just needing a friendly chat or a helping hand.
This July, we’re donating to a charity that stands up for our elderly. We’ll announce the recipient in the coming months, but here’s a sneak peek at what they’re all about:
• They’re a small-scale hero, working tirelessly in the US.
• Their focus? Enriching the lives of seniors, bringing joy and support.
•From combating loneliness to providing essential care, they’re all about making golden years truly golden.
Eye-Opening Facts:
• Social isolation can significantly impact the health of older adults, leading to risks like high blood pressure and heart disease.
• The need for accessible and safe housing for older adults is growing rapidly, with over 19 million living in homes needing repairs or modifications to meet their needs.
