Care Cards Mission

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as the world began to shut down all around us I became increasingly worried for the elderly people I had once worked with earlier that same spring. Who would play with them? Keep them company? Raise their spirits? Just like visiting the elderly center many of the patients lit up at the though of talking with those of younger generations and now with our technological capabilities we can connect once more. Through the nonprofit Care Cards Mission, we have sent handwritten or digital cards to handfuls of elderly patients in order to raise their spirits and the overall awareness of their mental health during this pandemic. I have composed both a Facebook and Instagram account @carecards_ to connect those around the world to come together and write a card for those in isolation.
