A message from Almaze's granddaughter: I am nominating my grandma, Almi (Almaze), who lives in Cerritos, California. Originally from Ethiopia, she is the glue of our family, always radiating love and kindness to everyone around her. She has an amazing ability to see the good in people and brings enthusiasm and joy wherever she goes. As a former caregiver in a nursing home, she dedicated her life to caring for the elderly, showcasing her compassion and commitment to helping others. Even if she has had a bad day, she always tries to make everyone feel better. Often times always putting others before herself. Due to ongoing issues with walking and her legs, she can’t go out as much as she used to, but she still continues to inspire us all. She loves to cook, go shopping, and also enjoys flowers. She can read both English and Amharic very well so that would not be a problem. Receiving some cards would uplift her spirits and remind her that she is cherished and supported by those who care about her.

A message from Barbara's daughter: My mother is retired from the FBI, during her retirement she was diagnosed with Dementia. It’s progressed rather quickly in this short time. Since then, we made the hard decision for Assisted Living. She’s been there almost a week, and the adjustment is rocky at times. I told her she had a mailbox and she said “it’s not like anyone writes to me” and I knew then I had to find something for her. She is the kindest, most selfless person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. She had a beautiful heart, and thinks of everyone before herself. She has a Shih Tzu named Rosey, and before that fostered and rescued Bichon Frise dogs! She was an art major in college, LOVES Eeyore, likes to watch the birds from her windows and watching the game show network.

A message from Margaret's son: My Mother turned 94 on October 9th. It would make her so happy to get cards from people wishing her a Happy Birthday. My mother is a wonderful person with such a beautiful soul. She is just a very happy 94 year old that would enjoy extra birthday wishes.

A message from William's granddaughter: I am nominating my grandpa because he has been through so much lately. After losing my grandma, I always look for ways to make him happy and i’ve learned we connect best through crafts and art. I feel as though cards will help him feel connected and give him many reasons so smile. He loves video games such as resident evil and grand theft auto (i know, he’s a cool grandpa), he loves art and board games also.
