At Welch Senior Living, we are honored to support the 10th Coop’s Troop Holiday Toy & Wish Drive, a tradition rooted in love, community, and the legacy of Cooper Matthew Richards.
Cooper passed away at age three from the rare genetic disease GM1. For the past decade, his family, led by his incredible mom, Kelly Richards, a former longtime Welch associate at Hancock Park, has turned their grief into generosity, helping hundreds of local children and families experience a brighter holiday season.
Every year, our residents, staff, friends, and family come together to donate gifts of all kinds for the benefit of Coop’s Troop, a local charity that supports those fighting childhood illnesses.
🎁 All Welch Senior Living communities are proud to serve as official drop-off locations. Donation boxes will be displayed in each main lobby, and we invite residents, families, associates, and community members to join us in support of Coop’s Troop.
Thank you for helping us honor Cooper and spread joy, comfort, and hope to families who need it most. 💜
