There are so many things that I have learned and experienced because of 3 Leaf.
I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people, leaders in our community… who are doing things that have a profound impact on the lives of many. And I was reminded yesterday, as we delivered gifts for London Drugs to the seniors at Operation Friendship Seniors Society (OFSS) … just how special one of them really is.
And so, I wanted to take a moment to celebrate him… because he truly deserves so much love and recognition for his hard work and commitment to serving our vulnerable and often forgotten, seniors.
Jimmy Morrison is the community relations manager at operation friendship seniors society. And, my friend.
I feel blessed that nearly 12 years ago, he decided to connect with me on Twitter looking for support for OFSS.
And then again, that he reached out to me 11 years ago, to share that he had worked with his friends at London Drugs to set up a tree with 40 tags to try to make Christmas special for some of their seniors.
I could have never imagined that answering his call.. would have meant 11 years of tags, wrapping and delivering gifts along side the many wonderful people that I have been blessed to meet along the way.
Over the years I have shared what Stocking Stuffers for Seniors means to me, and I hope I’ve given some insight into what it means to the seniors whose wish lists you so generously fulfill. But what isn’t said enough.. is where this all started and whos heart continues to make this so magical, and that is Jimmy.
Jimmy is truly one of the best people I know. He is kind, thoughtful and goes out of his way to do for others. He is bright and full of life and he radiates a warmth that you can only understand if you know him. In fact he likes to remind me that I once described him as a “feeling”… because words will never really capture him. And if you have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of his big heart, you know that “feeling” well.
He pulls people together from all walks of life and once you are there … he’s going to make sure you stay.
And this is easy to see, when you are at any of these events, like delivery day. As you talk to people .. the “why” they are there always starts with Jimmy (and of course for the seniors too).
But it is because he has brought you in… and made you fall in love with helping our seniors.. that you find yourself signing up to help, with this… or one of his many other volunteer opportunities.
And so, I just wanted to say.. I’m proud of you my friend.
For what you started 11 years ago with a single tree… For the way you bring people together and make sure that we always remember what an amazing thing this campaign really is. For all you do for the seniors and so many others, when no one’s looking.
The world needs more of you.
Thank you for all you do and for being exactly who you are ❤️
