About

During a season of loneliness or a hard circumstance have you ever wished someone would just send you a card or note to boost your day? In episode 33: Adopt-A-Grandparent, guest Hillary Kline shares how she recently started a passion project called, "Adopt-A-Grandparent."  The program is meant to help lonely seniors, many of who must socially distance and cannot necessarily visit loved ones during the pandemic. The project has taken off, with more than 1,000 cards/letters/pieces of artwork from across the globe delivered to Minnesota/Wisconsin nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Don't live in Minnesota or Wisconsin? That's OK, you don't need to to help the movement grow. How can you or your family get involved? Start writing cards, letter or make a piece of artwork. Include your address in the card if you would like to possibly build a pen-pal relationship. (There is no guarantee, but it's a possibility.) Bring this idea to your group or event. The more people involved the more joy and love will be shared. So, get your MOPS Group, book club, church small group or family gathering involved in Adopt-A-Grandparent. Send those cards, letters and artwork to Hillary Kline at PO Box 28244 Crystal, MN 55428. Please make sure you have the right amount of postage when sending. We don't want to add any extra cost onto Hillary. If you feel led to sponsor the movement, you can also send a donation to Hillary at the above address.  Hillary also shares about encouragement in tough times and what has helped her. She quotes Maya Angelou, "Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." Learn how to turn your heart and practice empathy and compassion, connecting to the people around you in a meaningful way.  One card, letter or artwork can be a rainbow in a cloud So, let's join the movement of Adopt-A-Grandparent!  Get to know guest Hillary Kline: Hillary Kline is a beauty and lifestyle TV expert, PR professional, social media influencer and an award-winning event personality based in Minneapolis.
