Thank you Providence Senior Living and Astrid Zayas MBA for having our Sunshine Buddies ☀️ out there reading poetry and interacting with older adults for our Poetry & PJ’s event.

In a world that often races forward, we must remember the power of intergenerational connections. When children spend time with older adults, they gain wisdom, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. These events and interactions not only enrich the lives of young ones but also bring joy and purpose to our seniors.

Let’s encourage these meaningful connections—whether through family gatherings, community programs, or simple conversations. The exchange of stories, laughter, and life lessons between generations is a gift that benefits us all. Let's make sure these bonds continue to flourish.

Thank you Julie Calabro for your assistance and always nice to see Lauren Webb if only for a brief moment

Today was incredibly special! In honoring my father’s memory and his service to our country, Sunshine Buddies & Semper Fi Seniors made a heartfelt visit to the Alexander “ Sandy” Nininger Veterans Nursing Home. With the generous support of CarePatrol of Broward & Miami-Dade we distributed donuts to over 80 residents and the “buddies” enjoyed a wonderful time sharing stories, poems, and artwork between our beloved veterans.

This event was personal, my father passed in 2022 because of the effects of agent orange. Always a proud US Marine & Vietnam vet, he instilled in us the importance of honoring our servicemen and women. I carry on this tradition in his honor 🇺🇸

If you'd like to schedule a Sunshine Buddies visit, send me a message! We have 2 slots left this year – don’t miss out on this heartwarming experience. Thank you Julie Calabro for your help ❤️
