GAIL
Though we are all experiencing these uncertain times, one thing that remains certain is people wanting to help. In a time of isolation, connection is more important than ever, and members of our community have stepped up to continue supporting older adults.
Gail has been volunteering and supporting the Aging Ahead Bridgeton location for almost 6 years. During her tenure, she has left her mark by joining the Support Committee and by making birthdays extra special by composing sweet poems using candy puns.
While social distancing, Gail wanted to continue brightening the lives of our participants. She created silk flower arrangements and ‘planted’ them around the mailboxes of individuals receiving home-delivered meals. As the daughter of a florist, Gail strongly believes that, “flowers bring smiles to faces—even for just a moment. Every time they look outside, they will smile.”
Thanks to Gail, nearly 60 homes have been adorned with flower arrangements in the Bridgeton area! Thank you, Gail, and to all our staff and volunteers that ensure older adults continue to smile and age well—even at a distance.
