Why are gifts boxes for seniors important?
Everyone gets old but no one chooses it, sometimes old people get sent to senior facilities. Their families often don´t visit them, or visit them very rarely and so they become sad, lonely or useless. Why do they feel like that? Either their significant other passed away or their children are grown ups and don’t have time for them, having their own families. Or, their children live in abroad and can´t live with them. The kids sometimes want only their money, or the kids don’t love them and don’t need their love, which leads to make them feel useless and unimportant.
That´s why we decided to join this challenge, called ´How Much Love Can Fit in a Shoe Box´. It´s important to send some love in some way to seniors so they don´t become depressive. If we join the challenge we make them feel loved, useful, noticed and comfortable, which are important things for every person alive. So if we send them a box full of love, which contains a sweet and salty treat that everybody loves, something warm like socks, scarves, hot or warm drinks like coffee, tea, their life gets better.
Everyone has grandparents, and as we don’t want them to feel unloved or useless we won’t put them into senior facilities. Even if we don´t understand each other sometimes, it doesn’t need to mean we don´t love each other anymore. We should appreciate them, they have lived longer than us and are more experienced than us.
